The present invention discloses a monopole pattern
reconfigurable antenna based on RF MEMS switch control, belonging to the field of RF front-end devices. The antenna comprises a monopole
radiating element, parasitic elements located on its left and right sides, a composite beam
ohmic contact MEMS switch, a
DC bias line, a
test patch pad, a
coplanar waveguide, a gradient
microstrip line, a
dielectric substrate, and a
metal ground
backplane. When the MEMS switch on the
parasitic element is on, the
parasitic element is slightly shorter than the monopole
radiating element and acts as a director. When the MEMS switch is off, the primary director element is split into two at the break, its length being much shorter than the monopole
radiating element, and the terminal is open, generating
backflow, which offsets the effect of the secondary director element. When one switch is pulled down, the
radiation pattern undergoes beam deflection toward the side of the closed switch, with an adjustable
deflection angle of up to 41°, a
gain of up to 6.14dB, and a beam width of approximately 90°. When both switches are off, the beam deflection is 0°, the
radiation pattern points toward the positive Z axis, and the
gain is 5.15dB.
