Abstract :
Reconfigurable and tunable antennas are getting popular because of reduced number of antennas to meet several wireless communication applications on a given devices such as Mobile phone, tablets, laptop and wireless routers. However, this benefit comes at the cost of some trade-offs such as complexity in antenna simulation design, fabrication and experimental verification including reduced antenna performance than a passive antenna. In this talk, some of these aspects will be presented based on the research work being performed at San Diego State University. Interested readers are encouraged to read reference papers for additional details.
