Design of Reconfigurable Concurrent Dualband Slot Antenna with Flexible Substrate Material
摘要
The advancement in technology has a major impact on wireless communication. The miniaturization of the electronic devices is equally needed and is a major challenge. As antenna is the major component of communication, its design with slim surface is highly on demand. For this purpose, choice of dielectric material for specific application is highly essential. This work emphasizes on the material and thickness of substrate that is considered as 0.508 mm. The design is based on Neltec NY9220 substrate with microstrip fed folded slot antenna. The proposed design is frequency reconfigurable and has the control over individual frequency of operation. The switching space for reconfigurability is determined with the help of PIN diodes that are switchable in such a manner that, at OFF condition it operates in 2.4 GHz, whereas in ON condition, it operates at 5.2 GHz. Even on switching condition it maintains the bandwidth as well as gain, that is exhibited in the result section. The simulation result is validated with the measured result of implementation.
