FREQUENCY-TUNABLE DUAL-BAND PRINTED ANTENNA EQUIPPED WITH COAXIALSPLIT BALANCING UNIT
In this paper, we present initial design of dual-band dipole antenna which able to perform when shifting high frequency band by inserting of inductive element between high-, and low-frequency dipole arms. Responses of high frequency and bandwidth at –10 dB level on the inductivity are presented in the paper. The maximum value of inductivity to be inserted is about hundreds of nH, hence, it can be implemented by microstrip lines. It is also possible to use lumped elements. Approximations of such responses with polynomials power two and lower are presented in the paper. It is shown, that the bandwidth of the S11 below –10 dB high frequency response has approximately linear behavior, so that can be used when carrying out experimental verifying of the numerical simulations. When simulating radiation characteristics the Russian standard FAF‑4D substrate was used, which can operate at frequencies up to 8–10 GHz.
