Abstract
This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in reconfigurablc multifunction antenna technology, including antennas with compound reconfigurability and integrated switching mechanisms. System-level demonstrations of some antennas are also highlighted. Possible directions for future research in this area are discussed, with an emphasis on bringing reconfigurable antennas together with other system components to deliver superior system performance.
