This paper presents the design and realization of a compact size multimode frequency reconfigurable antenna. The antenna consists of a triangular-shaped monopole radiator, originally inspired from a rectangular monopole antenna. Slots were utilized to notch the desired frequency while the PIN diodes were utilized to achieve frequency reconfigurability. The antenna can operate in wideband, dual-band, or tri-band mode depending upon the state of the diodes. To validate the simulation results, a prototype was fabricated, and various performance parameters were measured and compared with simulated results. The strong agreement between simulated and measured results along with superior performance as compared to existing works in the literature makes the proposed antenna a strong candidate for ISM, 5G-sub-6 GHz, and S-band applications.

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.

Antennas with reconfigurable functionality is the mostly preferred one in the antennas field. In such scenario, a work is presented in this article proposing a frequency reconfigurable antenna with a compact PIFA kind of structure. The antenna structure has the folded radiating structure and embedded with some lumped resistance and distributed capacitance, inductance for providing the impedance matching across desired bands for wireless communication. Further, the switching elements (PIN diodes-BAR64-02V) are inserted in the gap between the long-meandered line structure for attaining the switchable characteristics among single band (0.68-0.98 GHz), dual band (0.70 – 0.96 GHz, 2.26 - 2.65 GHz), and triple band (0.69 - 0.99 GHz, 1.89 - 2.78 GHz, 3.64 – 4.1 GHz) respectively. The impedance bandwidth is considered according to S11 < -6 dB criteria for the mobile communication applications. The proposed antenna is suitable for smartphone, laptop and portable devices with GSM/PCS/WCDMA/UMTS/LTE communication applications.

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.

AbstractA compact ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with reconfigurable band-notch characteristics is demonstrated in this paper. It is comprised of a modified rectangular patch and a defected ground plane. The band-notch property in the WiMAX and WLAN bands is achieved by etching an open-ended slot on the radiating patch and an inverted U-shaped slot on the ground plane, respectively. To obtain the reconfigurable band-notch performance, two PIN diodes are inserted in the slots, and then the notch-band can be switched by changing the states of the PIN diodes. The antenna has a compact size of 0.47 λ1 × 0.27 λ1. The simulated and measured results indicate that the antenna can operate at a UWB mode, two single band-notch modes, and a dual band-notch mode. Moreover, stable radiation patterns are obtained.

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.
