In this paper, a directional pattern-reconfigurable slot antenna at 2.4 GHz is presented. The antenna can provide three evenly-separated directional patterns and one omnidirectional pattern. The proposed solution is fully suitable for the integration …
This paper revisit and extend the interesting case of bounds on the Q-factor for a given directivity for a small antenna of arbitrary shape. A higher directivity in a small antenna is closely connected with a narrow impedance bandwidth. The relation …
Reconfigurable directional antennas (RDA) bring new opportunities to reduce data collision in wireless sensor networks (WSN). In this letter, a new reconfigurable directional antenna-based receiver-Initiated cycled receiver (RDA-RICER) medium access …
