A miniaturized reconfigurable antenna with a hexagonal slot is presented. The motivation of this study is to overcome the problem of switching band antenna with minimum electronic components while designing a miniaturized antenna. The reconfigurable band property has been obtained using only two PIN diodes. The suggested structure has successfully permitted the reconfigurable ability up to three bands of 2.36-2.81 GHz, 3.20-4.23 GHz, and 3.13-5.92 GHz, which well suitable for the standard of the WLAN and WiMAX bands of 5.8/2.4/5.2 GHz and 5.5/2.5/3.5 GHz respectively. The peck gain and efficiency of the reconfigurable antenna at resonant frequencies 2.58, 3.56, 3.58, and 5.63 GHz are 1.48, 1.69, 1.89, 3.44 dBi and 89.60, 87.14, 90.48, 81.57%. The suggested antenna has a compact dimension of 31 × 14.5 mm2. This antenna has a better performance which makes it a good candidate to use in a variety of multimode wireless devices.

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.

In this paper, a novel circular slotted rectangular patch antenna with three triangle shape Defected Ground Structure (DGS) has been proposed. Radiating patch is made by cutting circular slots of radius 3 mm from the three sides and center of the conventional rectangular patch structure and three triangle shape defects are presented on the ground layer. The size of the proposed antenna is 38 X 25 mm2. Optimization is performed and simulation results have been obtained using Empire XCcel 5.51 software. Thus, a miniaturized antenna is designed which has three impedance bandwidths of 0.957 GHz,  0.779 GHz, 0.665 GHz with resonant frequencies at 3.33 GHz, 6.97 GHz and 8.59 GHz and the corresponding return loss at the three resonant frequencies are -40 dB, -43 dB and -38.71 dB respectively. A prototype is also fabricated and tested. Fine agreement between the measured and simulated results has been obtained. It has been observed that introducing three triangle shape defects on the ground plane results in increased bandwidth, less return loss, good radiation pattern and better impedance matching over the required operating bands which can be used for wireless applications and future 5G applications.

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.

In this paper, a pentagon slot inside fractal circular patch microstrip resonator to design compact antenna over partial ground plane is introduced using 3rd iteration of adopted fractal geometry. This antenna is modeled on FR4 substrate with a size of (20 x 18) mm2, thickness of 1.5mm, permittivity of 4.3 and loss tangent of 0.02. The used type of feeding is microstrip line feed. It is designed to operate at wide frequency range of (4.5-9.3) GHz at resonant frequencies of 5.7GHz and 7.9GHz with impedance bandwidth of 4.8 GHz. Both lengths of ground plane Lg and width of feed line Wf are optimized in order to acquire optimum bandwidth. The simulated return loss values are -33 and -41 dB at two resonant frequencies of 5.7 and 7.9 GHz with gain of 3.2 dB. The simulated results offered noteworthy compatibility with measured results. Also, the proposed wideband microstrip antenna has substantial compactness that can be integrated within numerous wireless devices and systems.

This paper presents a compact and simple reconfigurable antenna with wide-band, dual-band, and single-band operating modes. Initially, a co-planar waveguide-fed triangular monopole antenna is obtained with a wide operational frequency band ranging from 4.0 GHz to 7.8 GHz. Then, two additional stubs are connected to the triangular monopole through two p-i-n diodes. By electrically switching these p-i-n diodes ON and OFF, different operating frequency bands can be attained. When turning ON only one diode, the antenna offers dual-band operations of 3.3–4.2 GHz and 5.8–7.2 GHz. Meanwhile, the antenna with single-band operation from 3.3 GHz to 4.2 GHz can be realized when both of the p-i-n diodes are switched to ON states. The proposed compact size antenna with dimensions of 0.27λ0 × 0.16λ0 × 0.017λ0 at the lower operating frequency (3.3 GHz) can be used for several wireless applications such as worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), wireless access in the vehicular environment (WAVE), and wireless local area network (WLAN). A comparative analysis with state-of-the-art works exhibits that the presented design possesses advantages of compact size and multiple operating modes.

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.

A band-removal property employing microwave frequencies using complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) is applied to design a compact UWB antenna wishing for the rejection of some frequency band, which is meanwhile exercised by the existing wireless applications. The reported antenna comprises optimization of a circular radiating patch, in which slotted complementary SRRs are implanted. It is printed on low dielectric FR4 substrate material fed by a partial ground plane and a microstrip line. Validated results exhibit that the reported antenna shows a wide bandwidth covering from 3.45 to more than 12 GHz, with a compact dimension of 22 × 26 mm2, and VSWR < 2, observing band elimination of 5.5 GHz WLAN band.

<p>This paper presents Dual-Band proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna with slots on the radiating patch and Defected Ground Structure. Initially a simple proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna resonating at 2.4 GHz is designed. Etching out a ‘Dumbbell’ shaped defect from the ground plane and ‘T’ shaped slot from the radiating patch of the proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna, results in a Dual-Band operation, i.e., resonating at 2.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz; with 30.3 % and 18.8% reduction in the overall area of the patch and the ground plane of the reference antenna respectively. The proposed antenna resonates in S-band at frequency of 2.4 GHz with bandwidth of 123.6 MHz and C-band at frequency of 4.5 GHz with bandwidth of 200 MHz, and a very good return loss of -22.1818 dB and -19.0839 dB at resonant frequency of 2.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz respectively is obtained. The proposed antenna is useful for different wireless applications in the S-band and C-band.</p>
