Design of reconfigurable tri-band antenna on chip

Abstract

In the modern telecommunication system, Reconfigurable Antennas which can radiate on more than one pattern at different frequencies are required. There is a requirement for increased functionality of an antenna within a confined volume for today's transmitting and receiving system. Reconfigurable on chip antennas are a solution to these problems. This paper describes the design of a reconfigurable tri-band antenna which radiates for 2.4GHz(ISM Band), 5.2GHZ and 7.5GHz. This tri-band reconfigurable antenna was simulated on high frequency simulation software (HFSS) and the results for return loss and VSWR plot was obtained for three different frequencies. Thus this antenna will lead to reduction in space and the multiple functionality from a single structure.
