Figure 9

Array of 3 adjacent shielded cells as in Figure 2 at 5 GHz. (a) Gain on the principal elevation planes ° (solid lines) and ° (dashed lines). Beam pointing at broadside ( °, all the cells are excited in phase) by the upper patches (black lines) and by the lower patches (gray lines). (b) The three lower sets of patches are phased in order to point at ° (black line), ° (gray line), ° (black line with squares), and ° (gray line with squares).
