Abstract

This paper proposes a wide band and multiband frequency reconfigurable antenna that can operate in the UWB, GSM, GPS, 4G LTE, WLAN, and WiMAX bands. The antenna is made up of a trapezoidal-shaped monopole radiator, which was inspired by a rectangular monopole antenna. The ground plane is modified by embedding T and L-shaped slots to notch the desired operating frequency. The proposed antenna can switch to six different frequencies using RF PIN diodes, making it suitable for modern wireless applications. A multilayer frequency selective surface (FSS) reflector is presented to improve the gain of the proposed reconfigurable antenna. The low-profile design achieved a significant increase in gain while retaining the UWB antenna's excellent impedance bandwidth. Because of the use of the FSS reflector, the antenna's average peak gain has increased from 6 to 10.4 dBi. The proposed antenna has a wide switching capability, which validates its unique feasibility for high-speed multiple Internet of Things applications via a common embedded platform under various applications.
