Abstract

A concept of a beam-steerable radiator based on a reconfigurable cavity antenna and coupling elements is proposed in this paper. The coupling elements are designed as magnetic dipoles which are realized using half-mode substrate-integrated cavities. Thus, the antenna exhibits vertical polarization in a planar structure. The main beam can be switched among different directions towards end-fire. Furthermore, by using an array of PIN diodes to reconfigure the aperture size of the launching element, the antenna has potential to change its operating frequency. Simulation results are provided as a preliminary demonstration of the concept.
