Abstract

A reconfigurable antenna, the size of a business card, is presented in this paper. The antenna is constructed using a set of PIFA antennas, with each antenna designed for a specific frequency. The reconfigurability is achieved through the use of PIN diodes for control. The design of the antenna is simple and easy to tune, and it covers six frequency regions ranging from 433 MHz to 7.125 GHz. To achieve such a compact size while covering a wide range of frequencies, a meandering technique is employed. Additionally, the paper introduces the concept of combining two frequencies on the same antenna element. The antenna is thoroughly simulated, fabricated, and measured, demonstrating a high level of agreement between the simulation and measurement results. The design is implemented on Rogers RO 4003C substrate, but it can be easily adapted for other substrates.
