摘要

Reconfigurable antennas, with the ability to radiate more than one pattern at different frequencies and polarizations, are necessary in modern telecommunication systems. The radiation pattern reconfigurable antenna has led to many novel designs of reconfigurable antennas using different techniques and have different phase covered. The objective of this paper is to overcome the limitation of beam angle polarization. A considerable amount of literature has been published on the radiation pattern reconfigurable antenna. The aim of this research is to design and develop a radiation pattern reconfigurable antenna with direction resolution ensuring full coverage extension on the azimuthal plane. In this work, the radiation pattern is configured by the insertion of metal rods around the patch antenna. The radiation pattern does change accordingly. An antenna that has a radiation pattern with full coverage on azimuthal plane is beneficial for an application that would requires signal transmitted or received in all directions.
