I-Shaped Frequency and Pattern Reconfigurable Antenna for WiMAX and WLAN Applications
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, Vol. 97, 149-156, 2021
Abstract
This paper shows a dual-band frequency and pattern reconfigurable antenna. The proposed antenna is designed on an FR4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm and size 25×15 mm2. Depending on the ON/OFF states of the PIN diode, the proposed antenna resonates at two distinct frequencies, i.e., 3.5 GHz, and 5.2 GHz, and has a pattern tilt from -170˚ to +160˚ in yz plane. In HFSS simulation, lumped RLC elements are used to reconfigure the antenna frequency and pattern. For switching, the PIN diode is used for frequency and pattern reconfiguration in the fabricated antenna to verify the simulated performance. In the simulated and measured performance, the proposed antenna shows reasonable matching. The proposed antenna is suitable for WiMAX and WLAN applications.
