Abstract :
The radiation characteristics of a bowtie-shaped grid array antenna (BT-GAA) is analyzed using the method of moments. It is found that linearly polarized (LP) and circularly polarized (CP) beams are radiated from the BT-GAA by appropriately choosing excitation phases of the feed terminals. It is also found that the BT-GAA acts as horizontal and vertical LP antennas and right- and left-handed CP antennas.
