Abstract :
A reconfigurable antenna covering three bands of frequencies WLAN, WiMAX, LTE Communication bands is designed. This antenna operates between these bands with the activation of two switches. The proposed antenna has small size and low profile design and occupies a volume of 18×20×0.5 mm3. The results include analysis of return loss and peak gain of antenna. High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software was used to simulate the designed antenna.
