Abstract
A reconfigurable adaptive wideband antenna includes a reconfigurable conductive substrate for dynamic reconfigurablility of the frequency, polarization, bandwidth, number of beams and their spatial directions, and the shape of the radiation pattern. The antenna is configured as a reflect array antenna having a single broadband feed. Reflective elements are electronically painted on the reconfigurable conductive surface using plasma injection of carriers in high-resistivity semiconductors.
