Abstract

A newly proposed electronically antenna with a reconfigurable azimuth radiation pattern, has been experimentally investigated in this work. In this design a coaxial colinear (COCO) antenna is located in the middle of a cylinder shield as an omnidirectional source. The cylindrical shield is constructed with active band reflective unit cells. The antenna has been fabricated and measured. A tunable step of 18° is realized. Front-to-back ratio in the directivity pattern is about 20 dB with the depth of null point at 34 dB and the gain of the antenna can be promoted to 9.35 dB.
