Reconfigurable Microstrip Patch Antenna for Frequency Diversity Using RF MEMS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: A novel reconfigurable patch antenna for frequency diversity is proposed by reconfiguring its geometry using tree rectangular tapes that are connected to the patch via six RF MEMS switches. So switching between the different frequency bands is achieved by using capacitive series RF-MEMS switches. The antenna was designed to operate at 2.6 GHz, 3.1 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5 GHz.

A reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna with RF pin diode switches is implemented for dual band of 2.4 GHz and 5.6 GHz WLAN Software Defined Radio (SDR) applications. For the dual band SDR system, the use of a single antenna with a wide bandwidth to cover both of the bands can be limiting for low power level signal applications due to wideband noise as well as changing radiation pattern at di...
