Reconfigurable Antenna for Wi-Fi and 5G Applications using Rogers RT5880

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is the concept of a reconfigurable antenna is presented. Reconfigurable antennas can provide various functions in operating frequencies, beam pattern, polarization. A reconfigurable antenna is implemented using CST Software. The total size of antenna is 30 X 28.4 mm2 .The reconfigurable antenna operates in frequency band. It is Printed on Rogers RT5880 substrate. The S-Parameters is calculated and is compared with the existing model. We used the commercially available software CST MICROWAVE STUDIO (electromagnetic simulator) which is based on the FDTD method, to simulate the reconfigurable antenna and to determine the electromagnetic characteristics of this antenna (S11, VSWR). The frequency band more than 3.4 GHz and magnitude has been identified as a worthy candidate for 5G communications because of spectrum availability. By using substrate as Rogers RT5880, and we have achieved the requirement frequency band and magnitude which are more than the 3.4 GHz and more than -20dB respectively.
