Liquid Metal Bandwidth-Reconfigurable Antenna

Reconfigurable Antenna : Narrowband Frequency Reconfigurable Antenna

Reconfigurable antennas have attracted a lot of attention especially in future wireless communication systems. Superior features such as reconfigurable capability, low cost, multi-purpose functions and size miniaturization have given reconfigurable antennas advantage to be integrated into a wireless systems. In this chapter, two types of reconfigurable antennas are discussed. First, frequency r...

Digitally Excited Reconfigurable Linear Antenna Array Using Swarm Optimization Algorithms

This paper describes the synthesis of digitally excited pencil/flat top dual beams simultaneously in a linear antenna array constructed of isotropic elements. The objective is to generate a pencil/flat top beam pair using the excitations generated by the evolutionary algorithms. Both the beams share common variable discrete amplitude excitations and differ in variable discrete phase excitations...

Polarization Reconfigurable Active Antenna

Active antennas (AAs) are a class of radiation system that integrates an antenna and backing active circuits which results in considerable reduction in complexity of the matching networks and filters [1]. This is done by carefully designing the radiating element to provide proper load for active elements. Hummer and Chang have investigated active antenna elements using a microstrip patch antenn...

Fractal Reconfigurable Antenna

This paper presents the use of PN junction diode on fractal monopole antenna with microstrip line for rreconfigurable multiband antennas. The developed multiband antennas focus on the applications for Wi-Fi, cordless telephone and satellite & radar. A fractal reconfigurable antenna was designed using the known fractal geometry such as Sierpinski gasket is fed by strip line using coaxial feed. A...
