Abstract

A Reconfigurable Matching Network based on microstrip technology and PIN Diodes has been designed and measured to retune a 2.45 GHz IFA antenna on a metallic environment. The aim is to guarantee a matching bandwidth of 100 MHz (2.4-2.5 GHz) for separation distances from 15 to 25 mm between the antenna and a metal plate. As a consequence, the use of this Reconfigurable Matching Network allows the antenna to be placed 40% closer to the metal plate.
