Frequency Reconfigurable Antenna for Multistandard Applications
Gagan D R, Sujatha S
Abstract: A reconfigurable yagi uda shaped microstrip antenna with switchable frequency is proposed. The proposed antenna has a simple structure, consisting of a square radiating patch and parasitic conductors of rectangular shape. This antenna is designed for multiband like WIMAX, GSM, GPS, FDMA and PCS. PIN diodes are used to switch frequencies between different bands depending on the state of the PIN diode switch. The antenna structure proposed have return loss better than -10dB and VSWR below 3. The Ansoft HFSS 14 software is used to model and simulate the proposed antenna.
