  • A novel method for designing a beam-switching antenna with the plane dipole is presented. The antenna is composed of double dipoles placed at the center of an active square structure that is divided in four equal sectors by metallic sheets. Metallic patches at the outside of the structure are used to enhance the radiation performance of the antenna. In each step, the diodes in one sector are on, whereas other diodes are off. The sector with off-state diodes defines the direction of the radiation pattern. An antenna model is designed on the substrate of FR4. The proposed antenna operates from 4.8 GHz to 5.5 GHz with gain of 6.3 dBi and F/B (front to back ratio) of 13.2 dBi when the operating frequency is 5.2 GHz. The antenna radiation pattern can be swept in the entire azimuth plane in four steps with a 3 dB beamwidth of 90. The results reveal that the antenna could be used in the base station of the wireless communication systems.
