Abstract

In this paper, a novel low-profile switchable narrow and wide band circular ring sector slot antenna is presented for wireless applications. Adjustable operating frequencies especially with the ability of switching between narrow and wide band modes could provide considerable immunity from jamming and noises. The combination of two wideband and six narrowband modes are provided using PIN diode switches inserted on the relatively wide slot. The slot is etched in the ground plane with the size of 33×36 mm2. The results show the operating frequency bands of 3.47-5.48 GHz for the first wideband operation and 5.2-7.37 GHz for the second wideband operation with S111) and second (f2) resonances, respectively. The proposed antenna is suitable for applications such as WLAN IEEE 802.11a (5.1 to 5.8 GHz), WiMAX (2.5–2.8 GHz), the ultra wideband (UWB) sub-band groups (3.5–5 GHz and 5–6.5 GHz) and also C-band radars.
