Title: A Pattern Reconfigurable Antenna Array with Five Printed Monopoles
Abstract: A radiation pattern reconfigurable antenna array for wireless communication is designed.The antenna array is composed of a feeding monopole and four length-switchable parasitic monopoles.The proposed antenna provides two modes with eight cases.Directive and reflective roles for the paras'tic elements can be changed by controlling the switches at them,the patterns' main lobes point towards the direction where the switches states are off.Thus,the radiation pattern can be rotated every 45° to cover the azimuth plane.The impedance bandwidth can cover the WiMAX(3.40-3.69GHz) band with gain over 6 dBi.Measured return losses and radiation patterns of both modes show good agreement with simulated ones.
