Frequency Reconfigurable Compact Antenna for Multiband Wireless Communication Application

Abstract

This pioneering work suggests a reconfigurable multiband frequency antenna for applications in wireless networking The miniaturization and multi-band function of the mounted antenna is done by inserting a rectangular hole, and the reconfiguration of the frequency is achieved by utilizing two PIN diode switches. The ON and OFF state of the PIN diode determines the surface current distribution of the radiating patch resulting in the multiband resonance and reconfiguration of the proposed device. Application and analysis dependent on parameter of the antenna such as lack of return loss, VSWR, gain, and radiation pattern. The developed antenna is used for the intended application of wireless communication. Simulation is performed using Ansys HFSS.
