A Beam-Reconfigurable Magnetoelectric Dipole Antenna with Broadband

This article designs a reconfigurable-beam magnetoelectric dipole antenna withbroadband, which is mainly composed of two vertically symmetrical metal plates, a horizontal dipole (with four diodes), and a floor with an X-shaped slot. The antenna is fed through slot coupling. The operating frequency range of the antenna is 6.09GHz to 7.76GHz. By controlling the switch of the diode, the surface current of the horizontal dipole is changed, thereby achieving beam reconstruction of the antenna.
