Abstract
Abstract This paper presents a triple-band planar antenna with diverse radiation patterns. The proposed planar antenna is a modified swastika shape with three fingers and the ground plane is a circle with rectangular slots etched on four sides radially. The slotted ground plane is loaded with Four PIN diodes to realign the surface current. Pattern reconfigurability is achieved at the triple bands by changing the states of the diode. The antenna operates in triple bands centered at 2.2, 2.9 and 3.5 GHz. The antenna is printed on FR4 Epoxy substrate. The simulated reflection coefficient is well below −10dB at resonant frequencies. The measured patterns and return loss are in very close agreement with the simulated results. This antenna can find potential applications in 5G systems.
