Abstract: Radiation pattern corresponds to the construction/deconstruction of far fields generated by the current distributed on the antennas. Consequently, changes in current distribution result in different radiation patterns and probably different mainbeam directions. That is, the mainbeam can probably be steered by varying the current distribution on the patch and ground. This paper investigates possibility of the mainbeam steering capability of a single antenna element.
