摘要
This letter investigates a new reconfigurable antenna technique based on the rotation of a slot. The surface currents are redistributed for each slot position. The antenna is simulated, fabricated, and tested. The return loss frequency tuning matches the simulated data. The antenna radiation pattern remains unchanged for different slot positions. Finally, the process for automatic rotation and control of the slot is investigated using graph models.
