Reconfigurable antenna with frequency and beam switching using transformer oil and PIN-diode for microwave applications

This paper introduces a design and analysis of a four directional radiation pattern antenna operating at 5.1 GHz. The proposed antenna consists of four center-fed copper arms placed over a substrate of relative permittivity εr = 2.2. The substrate is backed with copper ground sheet. The design of th...
