Abstract :
In this work, a new dual-band antenna, operating at two frequency-bands centered at 4.7 GHz and 7.5 GHz, is proposed which its operational frequency band is controlled by using reconfigurable notch filters. The idea is developed here for both case of ideal (MEMS) and non-ideal(Semiconductor diodes) switches. The simulations done by IE3D for each design, are verified with measurements.
