Abstract :
A microstrip antenna with reconfigurable Dumbbell-shaped defected ground plane (DGS) is designed and simulated. In the proposed structure, in order to generate frequency diversity at 1.8GHz and 1.9GHz, a DGS with a p-i-n diode is etched on the ground plane. The simulated results by HFSS and CST softwares show the effectiveness of the proposed antenna configuration.
