Frequency Reconfigurable Antenna

In recent years reconfigurable antennas have attracted a lot of attention in modern wireless communication systems. In satellite communication and ECM system, there has always been a continuous demand for smaller size, lighter weight antenna system that has properties to accomplish selectivity in frequency, bandwidth, polarization and gain. A frequency reconfigurable antenna is proposed for wireless communication. We can achieve Frequency reconfiguration by modifying physical or electrical dimensions of the antenna using RF-switches, impedance loading or tunable material. The design and simulation of the proposed antennas are done using ANSYS high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) version-19. The proposed antenna is taken as a triangular shape whose length and width are 50mm and 25mm respectively. Here reconfigurability is achieved by RF switches placed in the radiator. The antenna analysis is done by taking different conditions of the switch. Total four switching condition is simulated and for each case, distinctive resonating frequencies are accomplished with acceptable reflection coefficient. The frequency bands of the antenna are varied from 2.12 GHz to 5.27 GHz. This antenna covers S-band and C band. After simulating the design the gain and efficiency of the antenna are verified successfully. Antenna fabrication and measurement of different parameters will be done in future. A comparison of the measured result will be analyzed with some existing antenna outcomes.

This paper proposes frequency reconfigurable antenna for outdoor wireless communication systems, the 4 x 4 array antenna has designed at two resonant frequencies 7.5 GHz and 8.85 GHz. The periodic dumbbell geometry etched on the ground layer newly proposed with dual functionality, to control desired frequency and to couple radiating patches at the top substrate with feeding line at the bottom substrate. The reconfigurability of the patch antenna is controlled by utilizing the copper pad of the feeding network with OPEN and SHORT states. The reconfigurable antenna has been simulated and optimized using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) to get the desired responds. The good agreement between simulation and measured results indicates that the frequency reconfigurable patch array antenna using Periodic Dumbbell Slotted Aperture Structure (FRPDSA) is feasible to support outdoor wireless communication systems.

A UWB antenna with reconfigurable notch band characteristics is proposed in this paper. The tunable notches are created using modified E shaped resonators that can be reconfigured to modified C shape; etched on either side of the microstrip feed line of a circular patch UWB antenna. The single and dual band rejection characteristics are created by using C and E shaped structure respectively. Reconfigurability is achieved by using two RF switches. By varying the ON and OFF states of the RF switches, two different notch bands are created; single notch band from 4 to 6.2 GHz and an additional notch band from 7.6 to 10 GHz are achieved. These wide bandwidth rejection performance leads to notching of WLAN, WiMAX, C-band frequencies and X band Satellite communication systems.
