Abstract
Based on a Phased array technology, 2-dimensionally steerable base station antenna was developed at cellular band. The antenna, which consists of 2 by 5 radiating element, can provide 14㏈i gain with half power beam width of 0$^{\circ}$and 13$^{\circ}$ in horizontal and vertical plane respectively. It has beam scanning range of 0$^{\circ}$to 12$^{\circ}$in vertical down tilting and -15$^{\circ}$to 15$^{\circ}$in horizontal steering. The beam control Performance of antenna was verified by DM measurement on field trial.
