Abstract :
This paper presents reconfigurable antennas based on active planar reflectors. The proposed antennas can generate a very wide variety of radiation patterns thanks to the very good control of the reflected phase that their reflecting surfaces provide. The design procedure of such antennas is presented as well as some of their performances.
