Design and Fabrication of Plasma Array Antenna With Beam Forming

In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. the structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar uhf band monopole antenna. beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. the combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. an experimental model in uhf band is fabricated that shows a good agreement between the simulated and measured results.
