Abstract:
Design of a frequency reconfigurable multi band antenna that operate at frequency bands of IMT(2.3 GHz), 3.4 GHz, WLAN 802.11 (2.4 and 5 GHz), 5G sub 6 band (1-6 GHz) and satellite-X band (8-12 GHz). Multi band characteristics have been achieved by variation in length of radiating patch, slots, partial ground and parasitic patches while frequency reconfigurability has been achieved by utilizing RF PIN diodes as switches. The optimum size (50×55mm²), and switchable frequency bands makes the antenna suitable for wireless devices such as laptop, tablets and future 5G smart-phones. The antenna has been simulated on HFSS 13 and has been fabricated and tested.
