An experimental validation for the concept of a novel agile electromagnetic band gap matrix antenna is presented. It is used for beam forming and steering. It is fed by a cardinal sine excitation. A sectorial pattern is obtained. This pattern presents a special shape with low side lobes level. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 57:533–537, 2015
