Abstract

A 2 × 2 array antenna comprised of conventional hybrid high impedance surface-based reconfigurable square loop antennas (SLAs) as elements is presented. The SLA element has four conducting arms and each arm is fed at the middle by vertical probes, which is connected to a 50 Ω port at the bottom of a...
