Abstract
This paper presents a discussion on a low-profile, frequency-reconfigurable penta-band antenna. This antenna consists of two asymmetric L-shaped rectangular patches electrically connected by a single PIN diode. The proposed antenna operates at five frequency bands depending upon the switching states of the PIN diode. It operates at 2.4 GHz (WLAN) and 5.3 GHz (5G) during forward bias of the diode, 3.3 GHz (5G) and 5.9 GHz (WLAN) during reverse bias of the diode and 4 GHz during zero bias condition providing a wide bandwidth (3.6–4.8 GHz) at this state. The antenna has voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) ranges from 1 to 2, gain value ranges from 2.6 to 5.0 dBi, and a maximum radiation efficiency of 85%. This antenna can be integrated with modern devices such as smart phones, laptops, and other handheld devices due to its simplistic geometry. A prototype of the model is fabricated, and the results are validated.
