Abstract :
The work presents three configurations of an electronically steerable passive array radiator (ESPAR) antenna and their design topologies based on computer modelling techniques. Three different structures of ESPAR antenna arrays, such as wire ESPAR antenna, patch ESPAR antenna and DE-ESPAR (dielectric embedded ESPAR) arrays and their performances are discussed. The paper also discusses the optimal design techniques in ESPAR antenna development.
