Abstract
A variable directional antenna by means of a microstrip antenna and reactance change. The variable directional antenna has a structure to reduce sidelobes occurring when an element interval is reduced, and is structured in a three-element plane, having a feeding element and non-feeding elements provided at both sides of the feeding element. Each of the non-feeding elements provided at both sides of the feeding element has two split non-feeding elements two-divided into sizes of 1:2 in the lateral direction. The split non-feeding element divided into the size 1 is provided closer to the feeding element, and a reactance variable part is connected with the split non-feeding element divided into the size of 2. Alternatively, each of the non-feeding elements provided at both sides of the feeding element has two split non-feeding elements two-divided into sizes of 2:1 in the lateral direction. The split non-feeding element divided into the size 2 is provided closer to the feeding element, and the reactance variable part is connected either with the split non-feeding element divided into the size of 2 or the split non-feeding element divided into the size 1.
