Abstract(in English) This paper presents a basic theory on 2-element Espar antennas from the viewpoint of reactance diversity. Electromagnetic mutual coupling between the two elements is formulated by using a simple explicit admittance matrix expression as a function of the element interval. The admittance matrix and the load reactance characterize the antenna performances such as weight vector, radiation directivity, and port impedance. We propose a simple diversity scheme that employs binary reactance control based on the criterion of received power comparison. Computer simulations show that the diversity gain of 14 dB is expected at 99 percent cumulative probability in comparison with conventional omni-directional antennas. The diversity gain depends on the reactance value and is maximized at about -30 to -90 ohms. It does not strongly depend on the element interval. The binary-reactance diversity will pave the way to let the high performance antennas pervade even low-end consumer wireless devices.
