Multiple-Beam Low-Profile Low-Cost Antenna

Abstract

Low-cost directional antennas with electronic beam agility are a high priority requirement for many systems. This paper describes an antenna built and tested in June 2012 which provides multiple low elevation angle beams around the full 360 degrees in azimuth, and is low-height and low-cost.
