Abstract
Similar to cell based electronics systems that employ a sea of small unit cells in large scale arrays, such as thin film display monitors or semiconductor memories, an antenna array employs micron to centimeter size antenna pixelate cells that are integrated to form the plate of an antenna. Each row and column of cells in the antenna array may be accessed by digital logic and the RF transmission/reception state of the switchable cell changed. Thus, the antenna plate can be reconfigured and its radiating plate reformed to a specific pattern as an element of a larger array of antennas in wafer scale form.
