Electronically steerable and direction finding microstrip array antenna

摘要

An antenna having a dielectric layer configured about a longitudinal axis, and having at least two surface portions which face outwardly from the longitudinal axis in at least two different directions. A conductive ground plane is bonded to each of the at least two surface portions, and at least two conductive antenna elements are bonded to each dielectric layer on each of the at least two surface portions for radiating a signal therefrom. A transmission strip configured for transmitting a signal is connected through a switch to each of the at least two conductive elements.
