Description
Summary:This paper describes the development of reconfigurable frequency microstrip patch textile antenna. This antenna is composed with a truncated edges rectangular patch incorporated with the slot structure at the ground. Three BAR PIN diodes switches are placed on the slotted ground plane. By controlling the state of the switches, such antenna is able to operate at different operating frequencies. Besides, the antenna has successfully achieve an axial ratio (AR) of less than 3 dB for GPS operating frequency with configurations T2 until T7. The proposed antenna is potential for front end wireless communication system for GPS and WIFI applications.
