Paper Title
Beam Tilting Antenna using Varactor Diode
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to design a patch antenna array system that is able to tilt the major lobe of radiation
pattern in different directions. From different tilting methods available, phase shifting method is most appropriate for the
designing. The direction of the beam is expected to change in different directions by changing the phase of input signal. The
phase variation of input RF signal is obtained by using varactor diode. Simulation and designing of 2 x 2 patch array
corporate feed network was performed on ANSYS HFSS at a frequency of 2.4GHz. The implementation of this design will
help in picking up the signals from desired direction. In this project the beam tilts approximately 8 to 10 degrees in a
particular direction.
