An Effective Pattern Reconfigurable C-shaped Slot Patch Antenna for Wi-Fi System

Abstract

The reconfigurable antenna is one of the key demands of the modern days' communication system which can be reconfigured in all directions. In this research paper, a C-shaped slot patch antenna has been proposed for pattern reconfiguration of Wi-Fi systems. This proposed patch antenna can be reconfigured 360 degrees using its four ports and it is specially designed to be applied in a Wi-Fi system for the 2.4 GHz Bandwidth (BW). It contains a high BW capacity which is nearly 20 MHz and its low return loss makes it a distinctive one. This proposed antenna contains high directivity which ranges from 3 dBi to 4 dBi. Moreover, it can be shown using the measured time-domain features of the antenna that it can be a potential candidate for the pattern reconfigurable application.
