The proposed antenna model is designed with the dimensions of 58mm×48 mm on FR4 epoxy of dielectric constant 4.4 with the thickness of 0.8 mm. The proposed antenna consists of defected T-shape ground plane, which acts as a reflector. In the design of frequency reconfigurable antenna, BAR 64-02V PIN diodes are used as switching elements and antenna is fed by microstrip transmission line. The proposed antenna can switch at different frequencies (2.5 GHz, 2.3 GHz and 2.2 GHz) depending on the biasing voltage applied to the PIN diodes. The current antenna showing VSWR < 2 in the operating band and providing peak realized gain of 3.2 dBi. A good matching obtained between expected and the measured results.

A compact coplanar waveguide fed reconfigurable antenna with three notch bands are presented in this paper. Proposed antenna reconfigurability is acquired by placing bar6404 PIN diodes in the S-shaped ground plane in right to left mode and left to right mode. By switching the diode, reconfigurability achieved for three different operations. The substrate material for the proposed antenna is FR4 with dielectric constant 4.4 and loss tangent 0.02. The overall dimension of the reconfigurable antenna is around 30×26mm2. It is being observed in this work for the cause of each individual slot on notch band characteristics. The measured gain for the designed reconfigurable antenna is quite stable at operating frequencies except notch bands. The proposed antenna is suitable for practical wideband applications with notching.

AbstractIn this paper, we present a novel frequency reconfigurable antenna which could be easily operate in a single notched-band (WiMAX (3.3–3.6 GHz)) UWB frequency band, another single notched-band (WLAN (5–6 GHz)) UWB frequency band and the dual band-notched UWB frequency band (the stopband covers the WiMAX (3.3–3.6 GHz) and WLAN (5–6 GHz)). The reconfigurability is achieved by changing the states of PIN diodes. The simulated results are in agreement well with the measured results. And the measured patterns are slightly changed with antenna reconfiguration. The proposed antenna is a good candidate for various UWB applications.


With the increase in wireless applications, there is a need for compact antennas that adapt their behavior with changing system requirements or environmental conditions. Here adapt implies the antenna should be able to alter operating frequencies, impedance bandwidths, polarizations, radiation patterns. These all features are provided by the “Reconfigurable antenna”. The important feature of reconfigurable antenna is that, they provide the same throughput as a multi-antenna system. A compact frequency reconfigurable antenna is designed with the aid of Ansoft HFSS that provides multiple frequency bands. This is achieved by using electrical switches such as PIN diodes. Depending on state of switches different operating frequencies are obtained. The switches placed on the antenna elements are powered wirelessly by the antenna itself. The design, geometries and simulation results of a frequency reconfigurable antenna are presented in this report. Further advancements are to be done for this structure to achieve polarization and radiation pattern re-configurability.

The development of 5G New Radio (NR) is widely concerned. In order to solve the problem of working frequency band, a design scheme of frequency reconfigurable antenna module covering 3.5 GHz and 4.9 GHz frequency band is proposed in this paper. It can be applied to 3.4-3.6 GHz band and 4.8-5.0 GHz band, which can meet the application of sub 6GHz band in 5G communication. The antenna module adopts a feed port, a tune stub, and five switches which can realize frequency reconfiguration. In this paper, the analysis of the parameters of the ground plane and the length of the tune stub is given, and the discussions of the S-parameter, the simulated electrical field distributions, the radiation pattern, the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and the Smith chart are also given, which proves the practicability of the proposed antenna. The size of the antenna module is suitable and the performance is excellent.

A compact (8 × 62 × 5 mm3; 2.48 cc) frequency reconfigurable antenna that uses electrical switching with PIN diodes is proposed for the low frequency LTE band (699 MHz–862 MHz), high frequency LTE band (2496 MHz–2690 MHz), GSM850/900 bands (824 MHz–960 MHz), and DCS/PCS/WCDMA bands (1710 MHz–2170 MHz). The penta-band PIFA is first designed for GSM850/900/DCS/PCS/WCDMA bands by using two slits and ground pins within a limited antenna volume (8 × 54.6 × 5 mm3; 2.18 cc). The frequency reconfigurable antenna based on this penta-band PIFA is thus proposed to additionally cover all LTE bands. The proposed antenna has two PIN diodes with an optimal location. For State 1 (PIN diode 1: ON state, PIN diode 2: OFF state), the proposed antenna covers the low frequency LTE band, DCS/PCS/WCDMA bands, and high frequency LTE band. For State 2 (PIN diode 1: OFF state, PIN diode 2: ON state), the antenna covers the GSM850/900 bands. Simulated and measured results show that the total efficiency of the proposed antenna was greater than 40% for all operating frequency bands.

The design is focused on fabrication and testing of frequency reconfigurable antenna designed to operate in LTE and Wi-Fi implementations. The reconfigurable mechanism is governed by three PIN diodes and the operating bandwidth (1.38 GHz - 3.24 GHz) is efficiently controlled by diode’s different operating states. The antenna’s working principle is elucidated with the reflection coefficient, VSWR, gain and directivity characteristics. The antenna exhibits a maximum gain of 2.23 dBi and the VSWR of less than 1.5 throughout the bandwidth. The ON and OFF conditions of the diode go well with the desired operation and it does not induce the cross polarization. This work aims to design the simulations which are conceded using ANSYS HFSS full wave EM simulator and the measurements are in accordance with the simulated one.
