Abstract

In this paper, A Switchable Filtering Antenna Integrated With U-Shaped Resonators for Bluetooth, WLAN & UWB Applications is presented. To achieve the UWB operation, a rectangular defect on the ground plane and square slots are etched on the rectangular patch. The selectivity of frequency is achieved by integrating a Hairpin filter. Three switches are connected at the corners of the filter to achieve frequency re-configurability. A total of eight Boolean combinations are possible by controlling ON and OFF these switches. This filtering antenna acts as a band pass filter and picks distinct frequency bands within the UWB frequency. It can be used for wireless applications such as Long-Distance Radio Communication, Aviation Services, WLAN, C-band satellite communication, Wi-MAX, mobile satellite sub-band, radar communications, and space communications. In addition, two inverted U- shaped resonators of differing lengths are engraved on the rectangular microstrip patch to operate at Bluetooth frequency applications with frequencies ranging from 2.4 to 2.458GHz. The maximum gain obtained out of all operating frequencies is 4.82dBi at a frequency of 9.5GHz. The proposed antenna is simulated using the 3D-Simulation tool CST MWS. The performance of the designed antenna is estimated using the parameters like return loss, VSWR, and Far-field Gain characteristics.

Keywords: DGS (Defected Ground Structure), Filtering Antenna, Resonator, Hairpin filter.
