Abstract :
A new concept of microstrip antenna for phased arrays is proposed using a voltage-controlled ferroelectric thin tape in the multilayered structure. This paper presents the ferroelectric thin tape, its theoretical analysis and design. The results indicate that this concept has many advantages, is very practical and promising. It gives possibilities of several applications, e.g. in phased arrays and smart antennas.
