Abstract :
A review of previous research on magnetically scanned apertures is given prior to describing a novel microstrip antenna with in-built magnetic field pattern control capabilities. H-plane patterns showing a 30° scan are discussed and a simple analysis explains the principal scanning mechanism involved. Possible applications are considered
