In this paper, we have introduced a low-profile electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antenna that can successfully be used to estimate the direction-of-arrival (DoA) of incoming signals in wireless sensor network (WSN) applications, in which the height of the complete antenna has to be low. The proposed antenna is over three times lower than high-profile ESPAR antenna designs currently available in the literature for the DoA estimation; it can provide eight unique main beam directions and relies on simplified beam steering, which makes it applicable to simple and inexpensive WSN nodes. Measurements using our fabricated ESPAR antenna prototype indicate that relying solely on the received signal strength values recorded at the antenna output port, it is possible to achieve accurate DoA estimation results with error levels similar to those available for high-profile ESPAR antennas relying on the similar energy-efficient simplified beam steering concept and having 12 unique main beam directions. As a consequence, the overall time required for the DoA estimation using the proposed antenna can be reduced by 33%.
