Abstract:
|
This article proposes a frequency agile antenna
whose operating frequency band can be switched. The design is
based on a Vivaldi antenna. High-performance radio-frequency
microelectromechanical system (RF-MEMS) switches are used
to realize the 2.7 GHz and 3.9 GHz band switching. The low
band starts from 2.33 GHz and works until 3.02 GHz and the
high band ranges from 3.29 GHz up to 4.58 GHz. The average
gains of the antenna at the low and high bands are 10.9 and
12.5 dBi, respectively. This high-gain frequency reconfigurable
antenna could replace several narrowband antennas for reducing
costs and space to support multiple communication systems, while
maintaining good performance. |
