Phased Array Beam Steering Animation


Beam steering via phased antenna arrays is demonstrated. The arrays are  composed of 7 point sources uniformly spaced in a linear fashion (uniform linear array (ULA). The antenna separation is denoted by the parameter d. When the separation is smaller, the directivity of the array is narrower. Each antenna element in the array is fed with a relative phase shift of "delta" with respect to the adjacent on (the rightmost antenna is the reference antenna where no phase shift is applied, i.e. delta=0).
