Pattern reconfigurable antenna capable of switching feed through MEMS switch

Abstract

The invention discloses a directional diagram reconfigurable antenna capable of switching feed through an MEMS switch, and belongs to the field of radio frequency front-end devices. The directional diagram reconfigurable antenna is composed of a micro-strip radiation unit, a guide parasitic unit, a composite beam ohmic contact type MEMS switch, a one-to-four feed network, a direct current bias line, a test patch bonding pad, a coplanar waveguide, a gradual change micro-strip line, a dielectric substrate and a metal ground backboard. The two-stage MEMS switches are erected on the one-to-four feed network, when the two-stage switches on a certain feeder line are turned on, radio frequency current can flow to the corresponding basic radiation unit through the feeder line to generate an inclined beam facing the quadrant, and the two basic radiation units on the front side can be enabled by simultaneously turning on the four switches on the front side to generate an inclined beam facing the quadrant. And generating an inclined beam in the front side positive direction. The antenna adopts a single-layer board design, the dielectric substrate does not need to be punched, the structure is simple, manufacturing is convenient, the adopted MEMS switch is small in loss and high in isolation degree, and rapid printing and manufacturing can be achieved through the surface etching process.
