Changing the phases on the element
feeds can make a scanning array.

The HF antenna system to be used for Active Ionospheric Research at the HAARP site will assist other facility instruments in the
study the overhead ionosphere. As a result, it too has been designed to optimize or restrict the transmission pattern to lie within a
narrow overhead region. To achieve this desirable antenna pattern, the HAARP system uses an "array" of individual antenna
elements. The HAARP antenna array is similar or identical to many other types of directive antenna types in use for both military
and civilian applications including air traffic control radar systems, long range surveillance systems, steerable
communication systems and navigation systems.
37. The Bottom Line
• ANYTHING radiates. Sometimes you want
it to, and sometimes you don’t.
• To choose an antenna for your design,
prepare a LINK BUDGET to determine the
necessary gain and directivity of your
antenna.
• Don’t forget MATCHING NETWORKS to
prevent reflection between your antenna and
your circuit.
