Abstract:
A novel design of a computer electronically reconfigurable dual frequency dual polarized single feed hexagonal slot loaded microstrip antenna in L-band is introduced in this chapter. pin diodes are used to switch the operating frequencies considerably without much affecting the radiation characteristics and gain. the antenna can work with a frequency ratio varying in the wide range from 1.2 to 1.4. the proposed design has an added advantage of size reduction up to 72.21% and 46.84% for the two resonating frequencies compared to standard rectangular patches. the design also gives considerable bandwidth of up to 2.82% and 2.42 % for the operating frequencies.

Abstract:
Dual frequency operation is achieved from a compact
microstrip antenna by loading a pair of narrow slots close to its radiating
edges. The two frequencies have parallel polarization planes and similar
radiation characteristics. The ratio between the two operating frequencies
can be tuned in the range (1.14-1. 24), which is much smaller than that
of similar designs. The above excellent radiation characteristics are
achieved along with an area reduction of - 75% compared to the
standard rectangular patch
