This paper proposed an innovative reconfigurable antenna concept based on the dynamic definition of metal-like conductive plasma in high-resistivity silicon that are activated by the injection of dc current. Based on investigations of the solid-state plasma characteristics, the metallic properties of solid plasma were verified. And a demonstration prototype solid-state plasma frequency reconfigurable antenna containing 36 SPiN diodes was designed, fabricated, and tested. This antenna can work at three different states by turning SPiN diodes on or off selectively, in turn, working at the desired frequency state. The results show that this type of antenna posseses the unique characteristics compared with the conventional one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
