Abstract

A frequency agile Vivaldi antenna whose operating frequency band can be switched is pro- posed. High-performance radio-frequency micro- electromechanical system (RF-MEMS) switches al- low tuning of the operational band between 2.0 GHz, 3.7 GHz and 5.2 GHz. The average gains of the an- tenna for the low, mid and high bands are 8.5 dBi, 12.5 dBi and 13.7 dBi, respectively. This recon- figurable antenna others improved performance over multiple, wideband and multiband antennas without increases in cost and size.
