The design of a planar reconfigurable antenna with bidirectional end-fire and broadside radiation patterns from a common aperture is presented in this article. The proposed antenna is composed of two series-feed collinear slot subarrays corporately fed by a microstrip line and two series-feed dipole subarrays corporately fed by a microstrip line-to-double side parallel strip line transition, respectively. A prototype for 2.4 GHz wireless local area networks applications is fabricated and measured. The measured realized gains are about 1112 and 7-8 dBi for broadside and end-fire patterns. Experimental results, which agree with the simulated ones, verify that the proposed antenna is a good candidate for pattern reconfigurable applications.
