Reconfigurable antenna

摘要

A method and an apparatus for a reconfigurable antenna are provided. The apparatus is a reconfigurable antenna including a patch antenna and one or more parasitic slots. The patch antenna includes a first conductor plane and a second conductor plane. The second conductor plane is configured to provide a ground plane for the first conductor plane. The reconfigurable antenna further includes a first parasitic slot of the one or more parasitic slots formed in the second conductor plane. The first parasitic slot of the one or more parasitic slots is formed by a first set of two opposing portions of the second conductor plane. The first set of two opposing portions is separated by a first cutout in the second conductor plane. The reconfigurable antenna further includes a first switch configured to enable or disable the first parasitic slot of the one or more parasitic slots.
