Abstract :
We present a design of multi-beam antenna system using a hybrid scheme of analogous and digital beam-forming mechanisms. Exponentially tapered slot antennas are used as the array elements for a potential broadband operation. The system was prototyped to examine its characteristics in the beamforming and interference cancellation.
