Abstract
X-band phased array antenna containing four linear microstrip patch elements has been fabricated and tested. The elements were fed through single-crystal yttrium-iron-garnet phase shifters. By varying the bias magnetic field the input phases to the antenna elements can thus be tuned, resulting in steering of the radiation beam in one dimension.
