Abstract
This disclosure includes a compact directional antenna array that has a low profile, is easy to deploy and provides a directional response over a wide range of frequencies. The array includes one or more pairs of equal length conductors that are arranged radially about the center of the array. The conductors follow the surface of a lossy medium and are each referenced to a conductive rod that is inserted into the medium. The directional response of the array is selectable by means of a series of configurable relays or switches that route some signals through a delay network to a combiner and other signals directly to the combiner.
