Abstract: Reconfigurable and frequency agile antennas are getting popular because they tend to reduce number of antennas to meet several wireless communication applications on a given devices such as mobile phones, tablet PCs, and wireless routers. However, this benefit comes at the cost of some trade-offs such as complexity in antenna design, fabrication and experimental verification including reduced antenna performance than a passive antenna. In this article, some of these aspects are discussed mostly based on the authors published research work. Interested readers are encouraged to read referenced papers for additional details.
Keywords: Reconfigurable antennas, Frequency agile antennas, Printed antennas, Wireless communications.
