Abstract :
This paper presents an antenna system dedicated for cognitive radio applications. The proposed antenna system consists of two sets of radiating structures. The first set is a two port frequency reconfigurable antenna and the second set is a two port sensing antenna. A prototype antenna is simulated, built and tested to prove the validity of a MIMO system for cognitive radio applications. A good agreement is found between the simulated and the measured data.
