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 …
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 …
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.
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 …
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 …
