Abstract
A novel, dual edge-shaped frequency reconfigurable antenna with a highly compact size is proposed, using microstrip line-based inset-feed mechanism. The presented antenna uses cost-effective ROGER substrate with a thickness of 0.787 mm and has been studied for its gain and radiation pattern in the radome structure presence. The antenna resonates within the range of 3 GHz to 9 GHz approximately, with maximum tuning efficiency of 43 % at 6.5 GHz, covering the major wireless applications of aviation service and wireless local area network (WLAN) in the upper segment of S-band along with worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), long-distance radio telecommunications, and X-band satellite communication. The proposed antenna works resourcefully with a reasonable gain of 2.3 dBi at 5.04 GHz, significant bandwidth of 2800 MHz (maximum at 6.5 GHz), directivity, and reflection coefficient. The proposed multiband reconfigurable antenna along with radome structure using ABS material has been investigated under high-frequency simulation environment of HPEEsof of ADS (by Keysight Technologies) and 3d radiation pattern (far-field gain, directivity and power calculations) have been obtained using momentum and EMDS simulators of ADS. The final implementation size (without radome structure) for the patch design comes out to be 23 mm X 26 mm large.
