Abstract

This paper discusses a review of frequency reconfigurability through switches for 5G applications. A new switching technique (varying values of lumped parameters) for frequency reconfiguration is analysed and validated by investigation a difference between a simple (non-reconfigurable) and a reconfigurable antenna for 60 GHz resonant frequency. Different switching techniques for frequency Reconfigurable Antenna (RA) and formulations for the parameters of Microstrip Patch Antenna and slot insertion. Generic interconnections of switches for antenna array is addressed for RA design. important aspect of this paper is that these techniques have been discussed for the frequency switching of Reconfigurable microstrip antennas designed for 5G applications i.e. their frequency of operation is in millimetre-wave range (>6GHz).
