Abstract
The design is focused on fabrication and testing of frequency reconfigurable antenna designed to operate in LTE and Wi-Fi implementations. The reconfigurable mechanism is governed by three PIN diodes and the operating bandwidth (1.38 GHz - 3.24 GHz) is efficiently controlled by diodes different operating states. The antenna’s working principle is elucidated with the reflection coefficient, VSWR, gain and directivity characteristics. The antenna exhibits a maximum gain of 2.23 dBi and the VSWR of less than 1.5 throughout the bandwidth. The ON and OFF conditions of the diode go well with the desired operation and it does not induce the cross polarization. This work aims to design the simulations which are conceded using ANSYS HFSS full wave EM simulator and the measurements are in accordance with the simulated one.
