  • Abstract
    A self-structuring antenna (SSA) has been developed to enable scalable and rapidly upgradable phased array systems over broad tunable bandwidths. The SSAs are of a patch antenna design, utilizing shorting pins distributed throughout the patch face to control current distribution through switch activation. This paper describes the SSA concept, the design approach for this application, and presents measured results of two prototype designs.
