In, a novel both pattern and frequency reconfigurable annular slot antenna is presented. The antenna has three different frequencies by controlling the matching stubs, which are fabricated on the opposite side of the board.

Abstract

Abstract—This paper presents the use of pin diodes to recon-figure the impedance match and modify the radiation pattern of an annular slot antenna (ASA). The planar antenna is fabricated on one side of a Duroid substrate and the microstrip feeding line with the matching network is fabricated on the opposite side of the board. The central frequency is 5.8 GHz and, by reconfiguring the matching circuit, the antenna was also designed to operate at 5.2 and 6.4 GHz. Pin diodes are also used to short the ASA in preselected positions along the circumference, thereby changing the direction of the null in the plane defined by the circular slot changes. As a proof of concept, two pin diodes are placed 45 on both sides of the feeding line along the ASA and the direction of the null is shown to align with the direction defined by the circular slot center and the diode. Consequently, a design that is reconfigurable in both frequency and radiation pattern is accomplished. Return loss and radiation pattern measurements and simulations are pre-sented, which are in very good agreement. Index Terms—Annular slot antenna (ASA), frequency reconfig-urability, pin diode, reconfigurable antenna, reconfigurable radia-tion pattern, slot antenna. I.

Abstract

This paper proposed a frequency reconfigurable CPW center-fed slot antenna. Four pin-diodes are utilized to switch the length of the slot. By tuning the different pairs of diodes on or off, three resonant frequency bands can be obtained. The simulated and measured results validate this concept. This antenna architecture is interesting for wireless applications because it is easily fabricated and integrated with RF circuitry.
