Abstract :
This paper proposed a frequency reconfigurable CPW center-fed slot antenna. Four pin-diodes are utilized to switch the length of the slot. By tuning the different pairs of diodes on or off, three resonant frequency bands can be obtained. The simulated and measured results validate this concept. This antenna architecture is interesting for wireless applications because it is easily fabricated and integrated with RF circuitry.
