A tunable slot loop antenna using interdigitated ferroelectric varactors

A tunable slot loop antenna loaded with interdigitated ferroelectric varactors at multiple positions is designed, fabricated, and measured. Measurement results show that the resonant frequency of the proposed antenna can be tuned from 15.18 GHz to 15.36 GHz as the bias voltage is increased from 0 V...

Description
Summary:A tunable slot loop antenna loaded with interdigitated ferroelectric varactors at multiple positions is designed, fabricated, and measured. Measurement results show that the resonant frequency of the proposed antenna can be tuned from 15.18 GHz to 15.36 GHz as the bias voltage is increased from 0 V to 39 V.
