Abstract
A frequency-pattern reconfigurable antenna based on a foreshortened non-radiative dielectric (NRD) waveguide structure with a tunable liquid crystal dielectric is proposed. The antenna operates within the full range of the unlicensed 60G-band. The antenna is fed by a stripped semi-rigid coaxial feed that is inserted directly into the liquid crystal dielectric. The feed is positioned either asymmetrically near the antenna's end or symmetrically in the antenna's center resulting in a single or double conical radiation pattern respectively.
