Abstract :
Gaseous plasma antenna arrays (PAA) constitute a promising alternative to conventional metallic antennas for applications in which fast reconfigurability with respect to some property (e.g., the directivity) is desired. In this communication we give an account of the ongoing research on PAAs by presenting experimental and numerical results.
