Abstract:

© 2017 IEEE. Pattern-reconfigurable antennas with multiple switchable beams, especially with both boresight and endfire directions, are highly desired for wireless communications. In this letter, a novel pattern-reconfigurable antenna is proposed that provides an efficient solution. By reconfiguring parasitic striplines placed around a radiating dipole and reflecting metal pieces under the dipole using p-i-n diodes, the antenna main beam can be switched to five directions in the elevation plane, approximately from-90(left endfire),-45 , 0 (boresight),+45 to +90(right endfire). The proposed antenna operates at 2.45 GHz with dimensions of about 0.57λ× 0.45\lambda×, 0.28λ. An antenna prototype is fabricated and measured. For all five directional beams, the measured S-{11}| values are below 13 dB, and the measured realized gains range from 5.2 to 6.5 dBi. They agree reasonably well with the simulated ones.
