摘要
A novel compact wideband antenna, which adopts a multi-state switchable matching circuit, is proposed in this paper. The design of the switchable matching is systematically studied and a two-step iterative procedure is used to obtain optimized values for both the bandwidth division between the various stages and the matching circuit components in each stage. Without loss of generality, a meander line monopole, with dimensions of 80 x 10 x 10, is used as the radiator in the proposed wideband antenna design. To validate the proposed new design, a four-state matching circuit controlled by four PIN diodes is fabricated and measured. The reflection coefficient of the prototype antenna is found to be better than -7.3 dB, and the peak gain is higher than -3 dBi across the 470-770 MHz bandwidth for the Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T) application.
