  • Abstract
    The effect of inter-element spacing on performance of planar switched parasitic array antenna is present in this paper. Compared with the conventional planar switched parasitic element playing its role of director in reference, the paper emphasizes the switched parasitic element also act as a reflector to provide beam switching. Thus, the antenna size reduction is achieved. This advantage makes it suitable to incorporate into wireless terminals.
