Multiband frequency-reconfigurable antenna using metamaterial structure of electromagnetic band gap
A metamaterial of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) is incorporated to an antenna for frequency reconfigurability is proposed. The EBG consists of two identical unit cells that provide multiple band gaps at 1.88–1.94, 2.25–2.44, 2.67–2.94, 3.52–3.54, and 5.04–5.70 GHz with different EBG configurations....

| Summary: | A metamaterial of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) is incorporated to an antenna for frequency reconfigurability is proposed. The EBG consists of two identical unit cells that provide multiple band gaps at 1.88–1.94, 2.25–2.44, 2.67–2.94, 3.52–3.54, and 5.04–5.70 GHz with different EBG configurations. Subsequently, the antenna is incorporated with EBG. The corresponding incorporated structure successfully achieves various reconfigurable frequencies at 1.60, 1.91, 2.41, 3.26, 2.87, 5.21, and 5.54 GHz. The antenna has the potential to be implemented for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, LTE, and cognitive radio applications. |
