Abstract :
A structure is presented for a three element beam scanning array where integrated phase shifters are fabricated on ferrite plugs inserted into a microstrip feed network. A combination of permanent magnets and electromagnets are used to achieve beam steering of 30° with coil drive currents of 2A
