A vertically polarized, low-profile, compact, near-field resonant parasitic (NFRP) antenna with pattern-reconfigurability is demonstrated. The antenna has three dynamic end-fire states facilitated with only three p-in (PIN) diodes. The radiation pattern in each state covers more than 120° in its azimuth plane and, hence, it achieves beam-scanning that covers the entire azimuth plane. The antenna height and transverse size are, respectively, only 0.048 λ 0 and 0.1 λ 0 2. Measured results, in good agreement with their simulated values, demonstrate that the antenna exhibits a ~11% fractional impedance bandwidth and a ~6.6 dBi peak realized gain in all three of its pattern-reconfigurable states. Stable and high peak realized gain values are realized over its entire operational band surrounding 2.22 GHz.
