In this paper, a beam-steering antenna based on a new active triangular frequency selective surface (ATFSS) is presented. This ATFSS operates at 5.8 GHz and surrounded an omnidirectional patch antenna to form a reconfigurable antenna. Two metallic passive frequency selective surfaces with diamond shape are connected to each other using a high-frequency pin-diode to form a novel ATFSS unit cell. This novel ATFSS is used to design a beam-steering antenna covering all azimuth angles. By controlling states of the pin-diode, the reflection and transmission characteristics of the proposed ATFSS unit-cell structure can be controlled, and the gain is also enhanced by a value of about 3.95 dBi. This antenna can effectively operate over a bandwidth of 647.8 MHz.
