Abstract

In this chapter, a summary of the various components, categorization, and design process of reconfigurable antennas is presented. The various applications where reconfigurable antennas have been implemented and the association of various antenna properties with new communication applications are discussed. The chapter takes into consideration new and evolving applications and associate novel antenna designs with these applications. The control, modeling, and optimization of reconfigurable antennas are also detailed and multiple mechanisms are presented. Finally this chapter emphasizes on the development of reconfigurable antennas to service futuristic and evolving practical wireless communication applications and propose optimal solutions for more efficient and holistic designs.
