A mode reconfigurable Nojima origami antenna

A 2-mode reconfigurable origami Nojima antenna is explored. When the antenna is folded, it is directional mode and when it is totally unfolded, it is omnidirectional. The operational frequency of this antenna is 1.61 GHz at folded state and 0.66 GHz at unfolded state.
