In this paper, the design and implementation of a plasma antenna array using Yagi–Uda reflectors with beamforming is discussed. The structure consists of the circular array of plasma tubes enclosed a unipolar L-band monopole antenna. Beamforming is possible using stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above structure with plasma excitation controller provides smart beamforming and uses of the Yagi–Uda structure increases gain compared to previous models. An experimental model in the L-band is fabricated that shows a good agreement between simulated and measured results.
