Abstract
This paper describes a dual-frequency circularly polarized electronica lly steerable microstrip patch antenna array suitable for land-mobile communications. Based on a four-element Yagi-Uda patch antenna, the fo ur antennas forming the array are located radially from a single squar e reflector patch on a double-sided printed circuit board. The main lo be of the array covers the elevation angles from 20 to 70 degrees with a peak gain of 8.4 dBi at 1.54 GHz and 11.7 dBi at 1.62 GHz, Full azi muthal coverage is possible by electronically switching between the fo ur elements.
