Abstract
A phased array antenna includes a substrate, and an array of dipole antenna elements on the substrate. Each dipole antenna element includes a medial feed portion, and a pair of legs extending outwardly therefrom. Pairs of adjacent legs of adjacent dipole antenna elements include respective spaced apart end portions. The phased array antenna further includes selectable impedance elements and switches. Each switch is for selectively coupling at least one impedance element between a respective pair of adjacent legs of adjacent dipole antenna elements for changing the capacitive coupling therebetween.
