Abstract

Multiple standards are used in modern wireless system, so that they need antenna with multiple capabilities and functions. Reconfigurable antenna becomes a popular solution, it satisfy sundry communication demand and reduce the interference. Different antennas with frequency, polarization and pattern reconfiguration are used to meet the requirements of wireless application. For this purpose different techniques are either based on the integration of radio-frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF-MEMS), varactors, PIN diodes, or on the smart material such as ferrites and liquid crystals. In order to achieve optimum performance, various antennas can be used in each different reconfigurable implementation. It provides low cost, low profile, and reconfigurable solution for wireless communication application.
