摘要
A frequency-reconfigurable bow-tie antenna for Bluetooth, WiMAX, and WLAN applications is proposed. The bow-tie radiator is printed on two sides of the substrate and is fed by a microstripline continued by a pair of parallel strips. By embedding p-i-n diodes over the bow-tie arms, the effective electrical length of the antenna can be changed, leading to an electrically tunable operating band. The simple biasing circuit used in this design eliminates the need for extra bias lines, and thus avoids distortion of the radiation patterns. Measured results are in good agreement with simulations, which shows that the proposed antenna can be tuned to operate in either 2.2-2.53, 2.97-3.71, or 4.51-6 GHz band with similar radiation patterns.
