Abstract

A direction-finding antenna that estimates an angle of arrival (AoA) in wide angles is proposed. The antenna contains four quasi-Yagi antennas and a beamforming circuit that includes phase shifters, power dividers, and SPDT switches. The SPDT switches reconfigure the number of elements to be excited. The simulation results verify the null steering range is enhanced as double as the antenna without the circuit.
