Abstract
A reconfigurable dual-band antenna with pattern diversity is proposed. By switching the dispersion curve of a composite right-/left-handed transmission-line-inspired structure, the antenna is able to realize both a broadside pattern and an omnidirectional pattern in both the 2.4835–2.5 GHz industrial scientific medical band and the 3.4–3.5 GHz WiMAX band. Despite its complex reconfigurability, only one feeding port is used. A small dual-frequency separation ratio is reached, which makes the antenna suitable for low-frequency range wireless communication systems. A prototype is fabricated and the measured results agree well with the simulated ones.
