摘要：
This paper describes a beam-switching antenna with high gain and flexible control of beam numbers based on frequency selective surfaces (FSSs). The proposed antenna is composed of an omnidirectional monopole antenna, a hexagon FSS screen, and six metallic sheets that surround the monopole antenna. The hexagon FSS screen contains six columns, each is made up of two FSS unit-cells. The beam-switching antenna is divided into six equal portions by six metallic sheets, which are employed here to improve the gain of the antenna. The proposed FSS unit-cell consists of the two metallic crosses connected by a pin-diode. The transmission characteristics of the FSS unit-cell are investigated for different pin-diode states. Therefore, by changing the states of the pin-diodes in the hexagon FSS screen, the proposed antenna can sweep six directions with gain enhancement in the azimuth plane. Moreover, it can also flexibly operate at multiple beams modes, including two-beam mode and three-beam mode with low power. This proposed antenna is fabricated and measured, showing good performances at 5.2 GHz. The maximum enhancement of the antenna gain is up to 7 dB, which is achieved by using the metallic sheets and verified with simulated and measured results, which show good agreement.
