Abstract :
We describe two different methods for the design of linear antennas that generate multiple radiation patterns by switching between different excitation phase distributions while maintaining a constant pre-established amplitude excitation. Although any amplitude can be used, examples are given of antennas with uniform amplitude distributions.
