Design of active frequency selective surface for electronically steerable antenna

During the last decades, an increasing demand of wireless network and cell communication system is observed, which motivated the radio engineers to develop beamforming antennas allowing higher system capacity and more efficient spectrum utilization[1,2]. The application of electronically steerable antenna provides a new solution for omni-beam sweeping with less space occupation and lower cost.
