A Reconfigurable Cedar-Shaped Microstrip Antenna for Wireless Applications
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 25, 209-221, 2012
Abstract
This paper presents a frequency reconfigurable cedar-shaped fractal antenna. The special shape of the patch makes it simpler to integrate RF switches to connect consecutive branches. The proper activation/deactivation of the switches alters the current flow and changes the resonance frequency. Simulated and measured results show the characteristics of the presented design.
