Summary:
In this paper, a new beam tracking antenna is proposed. It consists of a magic-T circuit, two antenna elements and two phase shifters and brings a new prototype antenna in wireless communication systems. The main idea for the antenna is to shift the beam by adjusting the phase shifter using the difference of signals received by the two antenna elements. Both-sided MIC technology is effectively used to integrate the magic-T and phase shifters with a simple structure. Radiation pattern and return loss are measured and this concept is experimentally demonstrated.
