Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a phased array antenna which consists of crossed dipole antenna with a reflector as an element antenna. The element antenna is designed by optimizing its parameters. The main and cross polarization characteristics of the right and left side beam scanning of the fabricated 19-element array antenna is measured. Next, the experimental results of the beam scanning characteristics is discussed. It is shown that the measured results is effective to a satellite communications mobile station.
