Reconfigurable wideband to narrowband antenna using tunable EBG structure

In this paper, frequency reconfigurable electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure that integrates with a wideband antenna is proposed. The EBG structure consists of a circular patch shorted to the ground plane and a secondary circular patch connected to the circular patch. Switches are positioned bet...
