Abstract :
The design of an electronically steerable passive array radiator (ESPAR) antenna and the measured beam patterns are presented in this paper. Experimental results are compared with theoretically simulated outcomes, to justify the practicality of using this antenna for mobile computing terminals. Experiment results analysis shows that it is feasible to implement the ESPAR antenna into real applications.
