Abstract
A radiating cell having two phase states suitable for a transmitter array able to transmit microwave frequency signals, the cell comprising a first antenna and a second antenna arranged on either side of an assembly comprising two substrate layers separated by a ground plane, the second antenna comprising a conducting element able to radiate, the cell comprising comprises at least two switching means, said means each comprising an on state and an off state between two ports, one of said ports being connected to the second radiating element, said switching means being controlled in opposition. The radiating cell applies notably to the implementation of transmitter arrays employing several configurable cells to control the radiation pattern.
