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).

Dipole Antenna Radiation
Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation of a 2 wavelengths long dipole antenna at 400 MHz in free space. The radiation pattern is very different than that of the traditional half-wavelength dipole antenna. Nulls in the broadside and endpoints are clearly visible
