The previous study has reported that the presence of a small flap in the Brown Long-Eared Bat (Plecotus auritus) generate useful spatial information by the frequency-driven beam scanning. However, it did not investigate the beampattern generating mechanism of the flap. In this study, according to the dipole equivalence principle, the two resonance cavities split by the flap are simplified to a dipole source with certain vibration orientation. The analytical solution of the dipole shows obvious frequency-driven sidelobe scanning in the beampattern, which matches the numerical results obtained from the pinna quite well. The results support the hypothesis that the frequency-driven sidelobe scanning is generated by the resonance in the two cavities split by the flap. This method can be applied to design a reflector antenna with small geometric structures for splitting existent resonance cavities to meet requirements of beam scanning.
