Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 792))

Abstract

Nowadays, wireless technologies are required to be vigorous in their utilities to enhance the prosecution which may be realized by a single reconfigurable antenna where the characteristics of antenna can be modified depending on the user requirement. The commonly used antenna in the communication is the reconfigurable frequency antenna. Numerous techniques used to attain frequency reconfiguration are reviewed, and discussions are made on the essential characteristics and particularities of frequency reconfigurable antennas. The comparative study of various switching practices and their utilization in different frequency bands is suggested.
