摘要
A novel printed wideband pattern reconfigurable antenna using electronically switchable parasitic stubs is presented in this communication. The proposed antenna is compact, made of a low-cost FR-4 substrate and operates from 1.88 to 2.55 GHz with -10 dB impedance bandwidth. This antenna used only two PIN diodes and a simple bias control circuit without any vias or dc lines. It has the feature of improved gain, efficiency and two opposite directional patterns radiated in positive or negative x-axis in the azimuth plane. It has the group delay variations within 2 ns for the wideband operation. The proposed antenna was fabricated and validated for its pattern diversity performance.
