Abstract

The chapter describes the design of a Compact Radiation Pattern Reconfigurable Antenna (RPRA). The RPRA can reconfigure its radiation pattern without changing its polarization and operating frequency. The antenna is placed on FR4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm and switch technique is being used. The antenna can change its radiation pattern based on the state of the switch which changes current distribution on the antenna. The antenna resonates at 3.3 GHz frequency and is useful for WiMAX application. Simulations were done with HFSS.
