Abstract EN

Compact Vivaldi patch antenna with a parasitic meander line is presented in this paper.

A PIN diode switch is used to connect and disconnect ultrahigh frequency band (UHF) with ultrawide bandwidth (UWB).

The operating frequencies can be switched among different services, depending on the switching states (ON/OFF) to add the lower band when required.

This antenna is suitable for portable DVB-T which extended from 450 MHz to 850 MHz receiver applications and the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) IEEE 802.11b,g (5.1–5.8) GHz frequency bands and WiMAX band (3.3–3.8) GHz.

The measured reflection coefficient of the proposed antenna is compared with the simulated one; good agreement is observed.

Also, simulated radiation pattern of the antenna is presented.

All simulations are carried out using the EM commercial simulator, high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) ver.13.
