A novel reconfigurable plasma corner reflector antenna is proposed to better collimate the energy in forward direction operating at 2.4GHz. Implementation of a low cost plasma element permits beam shape to be changed electrically. The maximum measured gains are 5.7dBi, 10.8dBi and 10.5dBi for the omnidirectional, single and double beam shapes respectively.
