Abstract

A low profile dual-mode reconfigurable antenna design is introduced in this work. Two properties, namely frequency and radiation pattern are reconfigured using the proposed antenna. Parasitic patch array helps to produce the radiation pattern reconfiguration. Meanwhile, frequency reconfigurability is achieved with a resizable slot located at the back of the antenna. At frequency around 5.8 GHz, the antenna able to reconfigure the radiation pattern to three different directions with average peak gain of approximately 7dBi. Frequency reconfiguration is achieved at four different frequencies from 4.6 to 5.75 GHz.
