Abstract
A switched tapered slot antenna that has a capability to operate in four modes of operation is presented. The proposed antenna has a defected ground structure containing eight switchable ring slots to provide a switched band property. Experimental results on a prototype antenna with an ideal switch fully demonstrate the performances of the proposed designs. The proposed antenna could be a suitable solution for applications requiring dynamic band switching, such as cognitive radio.
