Abstract :
The paper describes an adaptive antenna array concept with seven patch elements in a hexagonal arrangement. With this structure, it is possible to configure the radiation pattern to obtain directional patterns with high directivity and gain. The software IE3D, from ZELAND, was used to optimize and analyze the antenna array for applications at 1.9 GHz. The return loss results and radiation pattern simulations indicate that this hexagonal array can be applied to the next generation of wireless communication.
