Abstract :
Reconfigurable antennas are becoming popular in antenna engineering because of their capability in frequency agility, bandwidth enhancement, and polarization diversity. Reconfigurable designs have been applied to dipole antennas, slot antennas, and microstrip antennas. Compared to normal designs, they exhibit attractive features of compact structure, similar radiation performance and little co-site interference. This paper presents a novel reconfigurable design: patch antenna with switchable slots (PASS). The PASS concept, various PASS designs, and its applications are discussed.
