Summary:
A broad-band dual S antenna with four feeding points on its four arms is presented for switched beam applications. The antenna generates a tilted beam covering a particular quadrant space for a particular feeding point, thus covering the entire space in front of the antenna. Tilted beams have θmax = 45? for four φmax directions. The antenna impedance (10 dB) bandwidth for each beam is more than 3.6 GHz, obtained in the UWB region. The antenna gain for each feeding configurations is 8.42 dBi.
