Design of a Dual-Band Frequency Reconfigurable Patch Antenna Based on Characteristic Modes

A frequency reconfigurable patch antenna design based on the characteristic mode analysis is presented. The antenna presents a reconfigurable lower band and a steady band at higher frequencies. A slot is etched on the ground plane of the antenna, where two varactor diodes are placed on each side of...
