Abstract

In this paper, a printed antenna with pattern reconfiguration in both E-plane and H-plane is presented. It consists of five elements which include 4 parasitic elements forming a square shape centered at the driving element. Pattern reconfiguration is achieved by employing the operational principles of Yagi-Uda antenna, in which the positions of the director and reflector are interchanged using electronic switches. The proposed antenna employing eight integrated PIN diodes is designed to radiate in both H-plane (\mathbf{-30^{\mathrm{o}},\ 0^{\mathrm{o}}} and \mathbf{30^{\mathrm{o}}}) and E-plane (\mathbf{0^{\mathrm{o}}} and \mathbf{28^{\mathrm{o}}}). The antenna resonates at 3.65 GHz with impedance bandwidth and gain of about 7% and 7 dB, respectively, in all switching modes, making the proposed antenna suitable for WiMAX applications.
