Wireless communication technology experienced drastic developments during the last few decades. Meanwhile the reconfigurable antenna had attracted more researchers because of its growing needs in various applications. Reconfiguration was performed to replace numerous antennas with single reconfigurable antenna which is capable of changing the Frequency, Polarization, Radiation Pattern etc. Antenna reconfigurability is attained by deploying several switching mechanisms among them electronic switching mechanisms are commonly used because of its simple integration, reliability, and efficiency. In this paper, review of various implementation techniques for antenna reconfiguration using meta surface are studied. Some of the reviewed factors are: Meta surface is the distribution of electrically small scatters called two-dimensional metamaterial. Metamaterial is an artificially built periodic array structure which consists of subwavelength cells. Some of the reviewed challenges in reconfiguration of the antenna are modeling of reconfigurable reflectarray, low-profile, high gain, unidirectional radiation pattern etc. Finally, some of the features, parameters and fundamental properties for designing reconfigurable antenna were investigated. Based on the study conducted, reconfigurable structure for 5 G application using meta surface is proposed.
