Abstract :
This article presents a design of a planar 2D parasitic elements monopole array. This design is an active reconfigurable antenna for scanning beams applications in the azimuth plane. A 16% frequency-tuning bandwidth is achieved from 4.6 to 5.4 GHz band. The beam´s direction is controllable with on/off states that can be generated with switches laying between the elements and the ground plane.
