Abstract

A switchable planar monopole antenna operating in ultrawide band (UWB)and dual-band mode is demonstrated. The switching is triggered with a photoconductive semiconductor switch triggered by light emitting diode. In the switched-off state, the antenna operates in the dual-band/UWB mode, while in the switch-on state the configuration converts to a dual-band antenna due to the extended ground plane. The measured and simulated results show that the dual-band/UWB mode entirely covers the UWB frequency band and the 2.4 GHz wireless local area network WLAN, while the dual-band mode represents a dual-band antenna operating at WiMAX and X-band Satellite communication bands.
