Abstract
This research paper introduces a reconfigurable and compact microstrip patch antenna designed and optimized for sub-6 GHz frequency bands, aligned with advancements toward millimeter-wave applications. The proposed antenna operates within the 2412–2484 MHz band for WiFi and the 3300–3800 MHz band for 5 G mobile phone communications. The antenna features a circular patch structure with compact dimensions, facilitating integration into miniature components and devices for wireless applications. To achieve frequency reconfigurability, a PIN diode was used as the switching technique. The antenna dimensions were optimized and simulated using CST and HFSS software. The simulation results were validated through measurements of the manufactured antenna. The antenna was fabricated on an FR4 epoxy substrate with a relative permittivity of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm.
期刊介绍：
Annals of Telecommunications is an international journal publishing original peer-reviewed papers in the field of telecommunications. It covers all the essential branches of modern telecommunications, ranging from digital communications to communication networks and the internet, to software, protocols and services, uses and economics. This large spectrum of topics accounts for the rapid convergence through telecommunications of the underlying technologies in computers, communications, content management towards the emergence of the information and knowledge society. As a consequence, the Journal provides a medium for exchanging research results and technological achievements accomplished by the European and international scientific community from academia and industry.
