Pattern reconfigurable antenna for radar applications

Reconfigurable antennas change polarization, operating frequency, or far-field pattern in order to cope with the changing of system parameters. Based on pattern reconfigurability, the frequency band remains unchanged while the radiation pattern changes based on system requirements. Using fixed or om...
