Mallikarjun C Sarsamba, Raju Yanamshetti
Abstract: This pioneering work suggests a reconfigurable
multiband frequency antenna for applications in wireless
networking The miniaturization and multi-band function of the
mounted antenna is done by inserting a rectangular hole, and the
reconfiguration of the frequency is achieved by utilizing two PIN
diode switches. The ON and OFF state of the PIN diode
determines the surface current distribution of the radiating patch
resulting in the multiband resonance and reconfiguration of the
proposed device. Application and analysis dependent on
parameter of the antenna such as lack of return loss, VSWR,
gain, and radiation pattern. The developed antenna is used for
the intended application of wireless communication. Simulation
is performed using Ansys HFSS.
Keywords: MSPA, slot, PIN diodes, Wireless communication,

I. INTRODUCTION
Recent years have seen significant technical advances in
state-of-the-art wireless networking technologies, with a
clear continuing focus in multiband antenna science. Higher
spectral performance and the need to accommodate large
data speeds, multimedia-based compact-sized networks
present significant technological challenges in traditional
antennas. In this respect, the multiband antenna proved to be
an outstanding choice due to its capacity to incorporate more
than one connectivity protocol into a single compact device,
in addition to its low cost and fast data rate functionality.
Nevertheless, antenna architecture development also needs
to face the technological challenges presented by that
frequency ranges, bandwidth fragmentation, interference,
and so on. The antenna may be reconfigured by adjusting its
frequency, polarization or radiation characteristics by
utilizing some form of switching system, such as pin diodes,
RF MEMS, Varactor diodes, etc. Microstrip antennas are
widely used to provide reconfigurability due to their
advantages of low profile, light weight, low manufacturing
cost, and ease of RF device integration. Frequency
reconfigurability can be accomplished by changing the
shape of the radiant element by altering the resonant
frequency. Switches are used to achieve selectivity of
frequencies by manipulating switch status; switches can be
pin diode, varactor diode or RF MEMS. In [3] this paper
presents a new, reconfigurable, single-feed, dual-frequency,
dual-polarized function of a square microstripe antenna
packed with hexagonal slots. The size reduction up to 61%
to 26%and bandwidth 3.3% and 4.27%. In [4] this study, a
lightweight WLAN dual-band frequency reconfigurable
antenna is proposed.

Miniaturization and dual-band activity is carried out in the
built antenna through the addition of hexagonal slots and
frequency reconfiguration is accomplished through two PIN
diode switches assisted by their bias circuits. In [5] this
paper discusses a reconfigurable microstrip slot antenna
configuration and analysis utilizing RF PIN diodes as S and
C-band switching devices. Here, the reconfigurable pattern
and frequency of the microstrip antenna is built by adjusting
the duration of the ground plane slot by six MPP4203 PIN
diodes. In [6] this paper suggests a parallel dual-band,
Shaped microstrip patch antenna reconfigurable bandwidth.
The antenna would automatically turn all frequency bands at
the same time without the requirement for an additional
coordinating network. If the PIN diodes are 'OFF' (reverse
bias) which are reconfigured to 3.1 GHz and 7.2 GHz while
the PIN diodes are turned 'ON' (forward bias) the suggested
antenna resonates at 3.5 GHz and 8.1 GHz. In [7], this paper
presents the concept of a frequency reconfigurable E-shaped
patch antenna utilizing particle swarm optimization. Ideal
switches are used to show evidence of the principle of
reconfiguration of the frequency. A slotted patch antenna
configuration which can be reconfigured with a new
frequency is given here in [8]. The slots created on the
aperture of the antenna are designed to orient by having
their orientation, either clockwise or clockwise, a reference
point. Such direction distributes the surface currents in a
number of directions, resulting in a shift in their resonance
strength. In [9] this paper describes a reconfigurable square
slot antenna. The planned antenna consists of a square slot
on one side of the substrate, and a micro strip feed on the
otherIn this article, the PIN diode was used to illustrate the
idea of an X-band frequency reconfigurable patch antenna.
In order to understand the influence of the PIN diode on
antenna parameters, a square slot has been added. In [11]
this paper proposes a multiband frequency reconfigurable
antenna for intelligent transport system (ITS) applications.
The reconfigurability is based on a PIN-diode. Center
frequencies are 1.38, 1.98, 2.89, 3.86, and 4.34 GHz in
Diode "ON" mode, and 1.56, 2.16, 2.88, 3.91 and 4.45 GHz
in "OFF" condition. The average bandwidth obtained is 18
percent. The proposed antenna's nominal gain is 2.7 dBi in
"ON" state, and 3.95 dBi in diode "OFF" state. In[12] this
letter suggests a lightweight frequency reconfigurable slot
antenna for applications for LTE (2.3 GHz), AMT fixed
range (4.5 GHz), and WLAN (5.8 GHz).In order to perform
dual-band operation a U-shaped slot with short ends and an
L-shaped slot with open ends are etched in the ground plane.
By inserting two PIN diodes within the slots, three
frequency bands can easily be reconfigured over a frequency
ratio of 2.62:1.In [13] it proposes a simple and compact slot
antenna with a very large tuning range.
