  • Patent number: 5815112
    Abstract: A planar array antenna comprises a plurality of antenna elements disposed in a predetermined matrix pattern. Feeders extend from a feed to the antenna elements. High-frequency switches cooperatively open or close the feeders connected to antenna elements of at least one row of the matrix pattern located at both a right-end and a left-end regions of an antenna surface. Switching signals are supplied to the high-frequency switches from switching terminals for alternately activating the associated antenna elements, thereby providing two time-divisional array antennas offset in position by a distance corresponding to the width of at least one row of the antenna elements controlled.
