Electronically Pattern Reconfigurable Antenna for IoT Applications

In this paper, an electronically pattern reconfigurable antenna for Internet of Things (IoT) applications is presented. The antenna consists of 4 wire-patches sharing the same ground plane. This radiating element can switch between four end-fire …

Slot-based Pattern Reconfigurable ESPAR Antenna for IoT Applications

In this paper, a slot-based electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antenna suitable for Internetof-Things (IoT) applications is proposed. The antenna can provide 12 directive and 2 slightly different omnidirectional radiation …

Radiation Pattern Agile Antenna for Smart IoT Gateways

A pattern agile antenna for smart IoT gateways operating at 2.44 GHz is presented. Several radiation patterns pointing in different directions and characterized by different beamwidths can be obtained.

Transmision line based approach for the synthesis of pattern reconfigurable antennas

A design approach based on transmission line theory for the synthesis of pattern reconfigurable antennas is presented. It allows the design of a single input port parasitic elements antenna fulfilling user-defined requirements on a target radiation …

On the integration of smart antennas in Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper presents a preliminary assessment of the potentialities of the exploitation of smart antennas in WSNs. The more trivial benefits coming from such an integration are: (a) an efficient spatial management of the radiated energy and (b) an …
