Abstract :
This paper presents a novel reconfigurable antenna with multiple radiation patterns which can concentrate the energy to one or more directions. The antenna is constructed by N patches. Each patch connects with two PIN diodes. By switching the states of PIN diodes, we can get at most 2N kinds of radiation patterns. Compared to conventional reconfigurable antennas, the proposed antenna has simple feeding and control network. In this paper, the antenna of N=6 is presented and the operating frequency is 2.4 GHz. The simulation results of S11 and E plane radiation patterns of some working states are given.
