摘要：
Differentially fed six-beam switchable reconfigurable antenna is proposed in this study. The antenna consists of radiators, parasitic elements, cross-shaped feeding network and the ground plane. The radiators are formed by two pairs of gear-shaped cross dipoles. By changing the excitation differential ports to drive one of two pairs of dipoles, and by enabling different reflectors, the beam can be switched to point to six different directions with different zenith and azimuth angles. For all the beam directions, the proposed antenna can obtain -10 dB differential reflection coefficient of 20.8% operating from 3.01 to 3.76 GHz, a high average gain of 7.6 dBi and radiation efficiency of 80%.
