Abstract :
A novel scheme for a phase-shifterless phased array antenna has been proposed and its beam pattern has been investigated. The beam is found to be steered from 0° to 180° simply by tuning the oscillation frequency of the master oscillator. Since, it is a phase-shifterless array, the cost of the proposed array is considerably reduced.
