Abstract EN

This work is regarding the development of a novel antenna called optically controlled reconfigurable filtenna, which is based on the integration of a broadband printed antenna with a bandpass reconfigurable RF filter.

The filter is designed by applying defected microstrip structure (DMS) technique and positioned in printed antenna feeding line in order to keep the same size of the original antenna.

The filtenna bandwidth is optically reconfigurable by using two photoconductive silicon switches excited by CW laser at 808 nm.

Numerical results rely on independent and switchable operational modes through the 2.4 and 5.1 GHz ISM bands, whereas measurements demonstrate two reconfigurable modes based on single-band/dual-band operation over the same frequency bands.

The proposed device is validated by theoretical, numerical, and experimental results.
