A micro-electro-mechanical series (MEMS)-switched parasitic antenna array providing radiation pattern diversity is described. A new modeling method is introduced in order to allow a fast and accurate… (More)
This paper presents a 4-element array of linearly polarized active antennas generating circular polarization. The loop arrangement with unidirectional coupling of the four oscillators is… (More)
This paper describes the design rules of a compact microstrip patch antenna with polarization reconfigurable features (right-handed circular polarization (CP)/left-handed CP). The basic antenna is a… (More)
This paper demonstrates a MEMS-switched parasitic antenna array at 5.6 GHz providing two radiation patterns with beams at /spl plusmn/25/spl deg/. The antenna is fabricated on a low-loss microwave… (More)
A reconfigurable parasitic patch array is designed to provide polarization and pattern diversities. The performance of the device is predicted using a commercial simulator including a pin diode… (More)
HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and… (More)
A new method is presented to estimate the efficiency of antennas slightly above lossy medium. This technique is more specifically developed for the context of Body Area Network. The method is based… (More)
As many applications with antennas placed near an interface are getting developed, it becomes necessary to take properly into account the impact of this interface in the wave propagation. In this… (More)
