This paper presents a critical review of modern 4G, 4G/5G, and 5G antennas, which employ PIN diodes and Varactors for polarization or frequency reconfiguration. For the reviewed 4G and 5G polarization reconfigurable antennas, a new parameter named spectrum utilization "AR/S 11 B.W." is defined for the first time to predict the shared spectrum between the impedance bandwidth and the axial ratio bandwidth for circularly polarized antennas. The calculated spectrum utilization for many designs revealed that the majority of implementations failed to achieve full utilization of the available bandwidth. Besides, employing multiple PIN diodes is shown useful in improving the spectrum utilization and in supporting multiple polarization states. For the reviewed 4G, 4G/5G and 5G frequency reconfigurable antennas, the focus is mainly on comparing the available tuning range, fractional bandwidth and the Fractional Bandwidth Change (FBWC) upon tuning. The latter parameter, is defined and calculated in this work to measure the change in the FBW upon tuning. Utilizing multiple Varactors is shown promising in improving a 4G antenna's fractional bandwidth, while combining Multiple PINs and Varactors in one design is found efficient in improving the FBWC and the tuning range in the 5G spectrum.

The manuscript represents a novel square tooth-enabled superstrate metamaterial loaded microstrip patch antenna for the multiple frequency band operation. The proposed tooth-based metamaterial antenna provides better gain and directivity. Four antenna structures are numerically investigated for the different geometry of the patch and tooth. These proposed structures are simulated, fabricated, measured, and compared for the frequency range of 3 GHz to 9 GHz. The electrical equivalent model of the split-ring resonator is also analyzed in the manuscript. The comparative analysis of all of the proposed structures has been carried out, in terms of several bands, reflectance response, VSWR, gain and bandwidth. The results are compared with previously published works. The effects are simulated using a high-frequency structure simulator tool with the finite element method. The measured and fabricated results are compared for verification purposes. The proposed structure provides seven bands of operation and 8.57 dB of gain. It is observed that the proposed design offers the multiple frequency band operation with a good gain. The proposed tooth-based metamaterial antenna suits applications, such as the surveillance radar, satellite communication, weather monitoring and many other wireless devices.

In this paper, we present a dual-polarized, pattern reconfigurable, liquid metal dipole antenna. The proposed design consists of a pair of ±45 • polarized reconfigurable dipole antennas, two vertically placed feeding structures with filtering branches, and a resin frame for injecting liquid metal to adjust the pattern. By introducing a U-shaped structure, a better impedance matching performance is achieved in two bands. The polarization can be switched by injecting liquid metal into different dipole microfluidic channels. By controlling the liquid metal reflector around the magnetic dipole, the reconfigurable pattern of +45 • polarized antenna can be realized at 0 • , 180 • and 90 • on the plane of phi = 90 • , and the reconfigurable pattern of −45 • magnetic dipole antenna can be achieved at 0 • , 90 • and 270 • on the plane of phi = 0 • . The basic antenna operates with linear polarization around 4.8 GHz. The VSWR is less than 1.5. In the radiation pattern of the antenna, the port isolations of the two crossing ports are S 12 and S 21 . S 21 port isolation is more than 35 dB. The antenna has good pattern reconfigurable characteristics, and the simulation results of the antenna indicate good radiation directivity. Moreover, the height of the proposed antenna is 0.0625λ at 4.8 GHz. The good performance of the antenna makes it a candidate for base station systems below 5G sub-6 GHz.
