Abstract :
A Tapered slot antenna with reconfigurable frequency band is presented in this paper. This tapered slot antenna contains two switchable rectangular slot. The notch band is achieved by a function of diode. A wide bandwidth mode from 3.2-9.5 GHz and narrowband mode can be selected. The pin diodes are used to reconfigure the impedance match and modify the radiation pattern. Measured results shows good performance of the proposed designs.
