Solution for Overcoming Interference - Radiation Pattern Reconfigurable Antennas

In this paper, the work on the realization of radiation pattern reconfigurable antennas by other means than phased antenna arrays is surveyed and the recent progress related to this topic is reported. Based on the different implementation methods, radiation pattern reconfigurable antennas can be realized with mechanical controlling method, electrical controlling method, changing the material properties method and using metamaterial method. All of these approaches are presented and compared with each other, and their pros and cons are summarized.
