| Abstract | Bias lines form an integral part of the reconfigurable antenna design process. Current methodologies for bias lines are either too narrowband or require a relatively large amount of real-estate that may not be available. Also, metallic lines are unsuitable for designs with strong fields in the bias line location. Bias lines using resistive materials are often prototyped using microfabrication facilities, but these facilities might not always be accessible. This letter investigates a novel, practical, and cost-effective bias line solution using conductive adhesives. These resistive lines effectively attenuate the RF signals providing good isolation between the RF and the dc signals while still passing a dc voltage to activate the switches. The reconfigurable E-shaped patch antenna is used as a case study in this letter, and some issues when using metallic lines in this type of antenna are also presented. The newly proposed bias line aims to minimize those issues shown hereafter. The fabrication process is also enumerated for those interested in repeating these designs for other applications. Overall, the S11 and pattern measurements show good agreement with the simulations and prove their effectiveness experimentally. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
