Reconfigurable four-parasitic-elements patch antenna for high-gain beam switching application

A reconfigurable beamforming of a four-parasitic-elements patch antenna (FPPA) for WiMAX application is presented. The proposed FPPA is successfully capable to steer the radiation pattern in azimuth planes (0\circ, 45\circ, 135\circ, 225\circ, and 315 \circ angles) and in elevation plane (0\circ, 13...
