This work presents the design and analysis of a beam switching antenna for VANET, Wi-Fi, and WiMAX wireless communication systems. The proposed reconfigurable antenna is powered by a coaxial cable and consists of a circular patch, six fish-shaped radiating elements, and a circular planar ground. The antenna was constructed on a Rogers RT5880 substrate. Its dimensions are as follows: 0.81λ0 × 0.81λ0 × 0.03λ0. It performs six reconfigurable operating states, at the same frequency, by controlling the activation and deactivation of six PIN diodes to change the beam’s direction. A theoretical equivalent circuit model of the antenna is extracted. A progressive analysis of improving the antenna characteristic performances is provided. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 9.07% (measured), 9.62% (simulated), and 9.31% (theoretical). The designed antenna has a maximum gain of 9.57 dB for all pattern states and a superior efficiency ratio from 85% to 95% over the operating range (5.54 GHz–6.10 GHz). The proposed reconfigurable antenna is fabricated. Measured, simulated, and theoretical results are given and show good agreement, including reflection coefficient (S11) and radiation patterns.

In this paper, a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed dual-band uniplanar tri-polarization reconfigurable antenna based on the PIN diode switch is proposed. The proposed antenna can be reconfigured between the linear polarization (LP) and the circular polarization (CP) mode, including both the right-handed circular polarization and left-handed circular polarization simultaneously within the dual operating bands. The central frequencies of the bands are 2.63 and 4.42 GHz, respectively, and the overlapped operating bandwidth is 17.8 and 3.40%. The proposed reconfigurable antenna is a closed-slot antenna fed by the CPW transmission line and the reconfigurable mechanism is to regulate the T-shaped driven stub through switching the PIN diodes on and off. The scattering parameters, axial ratio, radiation pattern, gain, and the radiation efficiency of the proposed antenna are all investigated in the following. The optimized antenna has been fabricated to experimental test, the simulated and the measured results agree well with each other. The lower frequency band of the proposed antenna covers the 2.40 GHz WLAN specification and the upper band can be used for the 5 G communication (4.40–4.50 GHz); therefore it is suitable to be applied in the mobile wireless communication.

This paper proposes a dual-band reconfigurable square-ring antenna with a polarization diversity property. The proposed antenna consists of a square-ring resonator, two stubs with a shorting via, and two PIN diodes. The stub is positioned symmetrically to the left and right of the square-ring resonator, and the square-ring antenna connected to one of two stubs has a dual-band resonance. In this case, both resonant frequencies exhibit linear polarization (LP), and the two polarized waves are perpendicular to each other. The PIN diode selectively connects only one of the two stubs to the square-ring resonator. Thus, the polarization of the proposed antenna changes electrically at the two resonant frequencies. In addition, the frequency ratio (f2/f1) can be easily controlled by changing the length or width of the stub.

Abstract The relevance of reconfiguration in a dynamic environment is to improve an antenna’s performance by allowing it to transition between multiple frequencies. In this paper, we designed a reconfigurable patch antenna and fed it by strip line feeding by placing 2 slots to obtain different resonant frequencies. The feature of reconfigurability is attained by using Pin Diodes. In our design, we take a 2 pin diode. The proposed Antenna can operate on different frequencies i.e. 2.88GHz, 5.5GHz, 10.8GHz and 11.1GHz with the efficiency of 90% and more at different conditions of the diodes. This analysis is done by using HFSS Software.

This article presents design and simulation of a new compact four-element dual-band MIMO frequency reconfigurable antenna that can be reconfigured for WiMAX and LTE applications. The antenna includes four elements at the same FR4 substrate with an optimized overall size of 65x65x1.6 mm3 and an optimized partial GND plane of 30x11.125 mm2. The reconfiguration rate is between 2.41 and 3.99 GHz that can cover the WiMAX and LTE wireless devices by applying just one RF (PIN) switch to change the operating frequency. The antenna operates on the two states of the PIN diode under its two states ON and OFF with (2.7 GHz, and 2.8 GHz) resonant frequencies respectively. The proposed antenna produces acceptable simulation results for the MIMO system by achieving gain from (3-7.2) dBi, less than -14.5 dB coupling effect, less than 0.28 envelope correlation coefficient, and diversity gain range from 8.4-10.
