摘要
A technique for producing miniaturized tunable planar monopole antennas for wireless communication applications is introduced. Miniaturization is achieved by optimizing the geometry of a pixelated metallic patch surrounding the monopole antenna. Tuning of the antenna is implemented by varying the capacitance of a varactor diode loaded between the pixelated metallic patch and the ground plane. The result is an ultra-compact, dual band, folded monopole antenna that fits into a hemisphere of radius lambda(0)/20 at 2.1 GHz. Varying the capacitance of the varactor diode enables the two resonance frequencies to be tuned simultaneously, covering multiple frequency bands for different wireless applications. A prototype antenna has been fabricated and measured, confirming the feasibility of the proposed design.
