Abstract :
A new architecture for the Van Atta self-steering array is presented. Active antenna techniques are used to realise a compact self-steering array with enhanced retrodirective properties. The experimental performance of the array is demonstrated and a technique is described which compensates for the beam pointing error induced by antenna array element directivity
