Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel reconfigurable antenna that can change the electrical shape of the matching network using RF switches of PIN diodes. The designed antenna operates at two different modes that are Mode 1 (HSDPA band, 2.1~2.2 GHz) and Mode 2(WiBro WiFi band, 2.3~2.5 GHz). The antenna is built on both sides of a polyarcylate substrate. The measured reflection coefficient shows a matching bandwidth of 547 MHz($S_{11}$ <-3 dB, 2.035~2.582 GHz) for Mode 1 and 600 MHz($S_{11}$ <-3 dB, 2.2~2.8 GHz) for Mode 2, and it shows average vertical gains of -4.4 dBi and -4.5 dBi in x-y plane, respectively.
