Abstract
An antenna with swappable and selective radiation direction includes a first arm, a second arm electrically connected to the first arm, a third arm is electrically connected to the first arm, a first impedance tuning circuit coupled to the second arm for connecting the second arm to a ground or a first matching component according to a control signal, and a second impedance tuning circuit coupled to the third arm for connecting the third arm to the ground or a second matching component according to the control signal. By tuning impedance of the antenna, the antenna operates in a first mode corresponding to a first radiation direction or a second mode corresponding to a second radiation direction.
