Here pattern and frequency reconfigurable microstrip antenna is designed by changing the slot length on ground plane through six MPP4203 PIN Diodes. These six PIN diodes are used to electrically connect and disconnect the slot to alter the total slot length 76 mm in x axis and 56 mm in y axis. Here three switches are positioned in slot which is cut along the x-axis and another three switches are positioned in the slot along the y-axis. The analysis of reconfigurable antenna using PIN diode is done using the simulation performed on Ansys HFSS. The pattern and frequency reconfigurability of proposed antenna is analyzed for S (2–4 GHz) and C band (4–6 GHz) in terms of return loss and radiation pattern. The microstrip antenna design shows the pattern and frequency reconfigurability at 11 resonating frequencies. The proposed reconfigurable antenna is capable to resonate at three resonating frequencies (2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 GHz) in S band and 8 resonating frequencies (5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6, 6.1, 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5 GHz) in C band. The simulated radiation patterns at various resonating frequencies shows pattern reconfigurability with acceptable gain in xz and yz plane of microstrip patch antenna. Furthermore the re-configurable antenna reduced the front end system's size and offers pre-filtering at the receiver. The proposed microstrip patch slot antenna is quite suited to be integrated with WLAN and Bluetooth devices with less structure complexity.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116212405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The excellent chiral functionality is due to the cross coupling between the induced magnetic field and incident electric field among the UAELC-dimer.

Metamaterial finds applications as filters, diplexers and as frequency selective surfaces for gain enhancement in antennas. In this work open loop filters with circle, triangle and pentagonal geometries are proposed which can be configured as metamaterial for various wireless applications. These metamaterials can be energised using different feeding mechanisms like edge coupling, electromagnetic coupling, inductive coupling, capacitive coupling etc. Proposed filters are energised using edge coupled feeding mechanism which has reduce complexity compared to other techniques. Edge coupling also ensures the tunability of the filters and make them applicable for low frequency, where the conventional planar filters consumes large area. The geometrical variations in the loop are found to influence the filter characteristics and this is studied in detail. Design equations are furnished for the filters based on the extensive analysis carried out using ANSYS High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) using finite element method. The current distribution and electric field of the proposed filters are also analysed in detail. Filter prototypes with optimum performance as seen in the simulations are fabricated and measured using Keysight ENA 5080A Network Analyser. Good agreement is found to exist between experimental results and the simulated results for the designed filters. A comparative study is carried out based on the frequency of operation, bandwidth and the attenuation of the three designed filters among themselves and the previous works that authors referred into.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113975700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
