“…By using a SPDT switch to shift the input port of the coupler, the proposed antenna can be operated either in left-hand or righthand circular polarization according to DC-bias voltages [3]. The usage of the SPDT switch as the RF-switches, the DCbias network is simpler compared to using the PIN diode [1][2]. However, the authors in [4] use the MEMS switches because the switches exhibit low DC power consumption and excellent linearity, besides exhibiting high isolation.…”

“…Besides that, RMA also has a different ability, i.e., it is able to operate by itself in indicating different functions of the radiation pattern and polarization. By controlling or configuring the RF switches such as PIN diode [1], MEMs switch or varactor diode either to ON or OFF state, the antenna can achieve the reconfigurability. Moreover, the manufacturing cost of RMA is very low because the size is small and compact, and it is easy to fabricate.…”

“…Therefore, in recent development of the RMA, the aspects of gain and the bandwidth could be considered. In [1], the proposed antenna uses the technology of stacked patch microstrip antenna to control the activation of different patch at different layer to achieve the frequency reconfigurable antenna. The advantages of this design is that the antenna produces high antenna, which is more than 6 dB compared to other single microstrip antennas.…”

This paper presents a novel design of frequencyreconfigurable antenna by using an aperture-coupled technique as feeding technique and stacked patch technology. The proposed antenna generally consists of three substrate layers (RT-Rogers 5880) and air gap filled between feedline substrate and layer 2 substrates. Four PIN diode (BAP51-02) switches are implemented to configure the length of the feedline by configuring the switches to ON or OFF mode. A new approach of coupling methods is presented. When all the switches are in ON mode, the signal will be passed to the selective aperture slot and activate the particular radiating patch layer to achieve the frequency reconfigurability either at 2.6 GHz or 3.5 GHz. The prototype of the proposed antenna is tested/fabricated with the biasing circuit to validate the performance of the antenna. The simulated and measured results are presented to confirm the performance of the antenna.

“…PIN diodes, varactors, and MEMS switches are commonly used techniques to ensure the frequency reconfigurable characteristic. Multiple designs have been studied to acquire the frequency agility property . For example, a frequency reconfigurable planar inverted‐F antenna was designed in , using two PIN diodes, three reconfigurable operating bands (2.3–2.4, 2.5–2.7, and 3.4–3.6 GHz) are achieved.…”

A planarprinted multiband microstrip fed antenna with reconfigurable frequency performance was designed for multistandard wireless communication systems. The antenna consists on a square shaped patch with an optimized centered Koch‐Island fractal slot. The antenna allows a reconfigurability of the frequency bands by incorporating 16 PIN diodes inside the fractal slot which is highly complex. That is why short and open circuits will be used to produce frequency agility instead of RF switches (for proof of the concept). The proposed antenna is capable to switch between 15 operating frequency bands centered at 1.7, 1.77, 2.36, 2.43, 3.30, 3.61, 3.67, 3.79, 4.05, 4.34, 4.59, 5.2, 5.27, 5.47, and 5.57 GHz through four operating modes M1–M4 over the wide range 1–6 GHz. Prototypes corresponding to different modes were manufactured and characterized. Simulated and measured results are presented and discussed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…However, spread spectrum signals are characterized by their relatively large bandwidths which often require the use of an antenna with the capability of operating within such bandwidths. Spread spectrum signal are most applicable in wireless local area networks (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) [2].…”

Accepted to IET MAP Journal Feb 2017 Design of Frequency Reconfigurable Multiband Compact Antenna using two PIN diodes for WLAN/WiMAX Applications Abstract:In this paper, we present a simple reconfigurable multiband antenna with two PIN diode switches for WiMAX/WLAN applications. The antenna permits reconfigurable switching in up to ten frequency bands between 2.2 GHz and 6 GHz, with relative impedance bandwidths of around 2.5% and 8%. The proposed antenna has been simulated using CST microwave studio software and fabricated on an FR-4 substrate. It is compact, with an area of 50 × 45 mm 2 , and has a slotted ground substrate. Both measured and simulated return loss characteristics of the optimized antenna show that it satisfies the requirement of 2.4/5.8 GHz WLAN and 3.5 GHz WiMAX antenna applications. Moreover, there is good agreement between the measured and simulated result in terms of radiation pattern and gain.
