Abstract | A novel reconfigurable antenna capable of rotating a bi-directional pattern by 360° in azimuth is proposed. The antenna has two ports, no aperture switching components and offers a more compact solution than an array. It provides a reconfigurable pattern in the band 2.525 to 2.595 GHz and a fixed omnidirectional pattern from 2.235 to 2.725 GHz. The measured gains for four investigated configurations are between 2.1 dBi and 3.1 dBi with total efficiencies between 80% and 89%. |
