“…In fact, the reconfigurability allows controlling the electric length of the antenna and allows generating frequency bands without changing the physical length of the antenna. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the proposed antenna has provided more flexibility in terms of controlling the frequency generated bands compared with the recently published works in [21][22][23][24][25]. The positions of the switches shown in Fig.…”

“…It is shown that the proposed design is compact (31 × 25 mm 2 ) and low cost, which uses only two PIN diodes to get more operating frequency bands. The realised typical size reduction, for our prototype antenna compared with other antenna structures reported in the literatures [21][22][23][24][25], is calculated. The reduction in volume (R v ) is calculated as reported in [33]…”

“…Furthermore, a minimum number of diodes have been used to generate multiple resonating frequencies, which reduce the cost of the antenna system. Besides, this antenna has a simple structure and a compact size as compared with the antennas reported in the literatures [21][22][23][24][25].…”

“…The frequency reconfigurable approach is obtained for ultra-high-frequency band using radio-frequency (RF) PIN diodes, lumped capacitor, and inductors. In [22], printed U-shaped reconfigurable fractal antenna showed to be a good candidate for multi-standard wireless communication systems. In [23], a dual-band reconfigurable Koch fractal antenna has been designed with dimension of 30 × 30 × 3.2 mm 3 for global system for mobile communication/wireless fidelity (1.8/2.48 GHz) wireless applications.…”

In this study, a coplanar waveguide‐fed reconfigurable antenna using crescent‐shaped fractal geometry is presented. The frequency reconfigurable approach is obtained using radio‐frequency positive intrinsic negative diodes, resistor, and inductors. The proposed approach has successfully allowed reconfigurable switching up to eight frequency bands between 1.46 and 6.15 GHz. Good results have been obtained in terms of stable and omnidirectional radiation patterns. The realised gains of the antenna system, in these frequency bands, vary from 0.52 to 5.67 dBi. The designed antenna has the advantages of a multiband structure and compact size over the previously reported structures. The proposed antenna is suitable for future wireless application systems.

“…Compared to the positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diode [5,6], micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) [7,8], and gallium arsenide (GaAs) psuedomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) [9,10], Silicon-oninsulator (SOI) CMOS process shares the important features of being fast, reliable, and highly integratable, and thus, becomes a preferred choice for switch applications [11,12,13,14]. The low break-down voltage and conductive substrate limit the standard bulk CMOS for RF switch applications [15,16,17].…”

This letter describes a single-pole six-throw (SP6T) antenna switch in a 180 nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS technology for receive diversity and LTE transmit/receive applications. Using a new diode biasing method, the conventional biasing resistor and supply voltage are removed at the body of the stacked-FET switch, a diode is used to connect the body and gate for body bias instead. The biasing diode turns off and on and functions as a high and small resistor for the on and off state. The proposed design helps to achieve low loss and high linearity. The measured insertion loss (IL) at 0.9 and 1.9 GHz are roughly 0.29 and 0.46 dB, respectively. The switch shows a second harmonic of −86 and −83 dBc, and third harmonic power of −94 and −87 dBc with a +26 dBm input power at 0.9 and 1.9 GHz, respectively.

SummaryReconfigurable fractal antenna (RFA) design is always necessary for the continued development of wireless communication systems as the antenna is playing a vital part in device performance. The need for efficient radiators that are compact, low‐profile, inexpensive, and low weight has attracted scientists for their research works. As a result, numerous ideas were put forward by the researchers to attempt to resolve these problems by utilizing various kinds of fractal and reconfigurable antennas as well as their combinations. However, it is challenging to have a clear and transparent review of the various works with a large variety of solutions and their uniqueness. The advanced RFA design for wireless applications is reviewed in this study together with its most recent and pertinent counterparts. In Koch RFA, bandwidths enable selective bands spanning 1–6 GHz frequency range. Further, in band RFA design, the overall bandwidth ranges from 1.45 to 4.52 GHz (103%) with low gain; on the other hand, the crescent RFA achieves 5.67 dBi peak gain. Furthermore, in polarization RFA, the ARBWs are 17.61% (2.2–2.62 GHz) and 8.69% (2.91–3.18 GHz). The Hilbert RFA operates at 0.9 and 2.45 GHz with gains of 3.1 and 7 dBi, respectively. This article investigates a comprehensive review of the requirements for RFAs for wireless applications. Furthermore, a comparative study on different reconfigurability with switching techniques, fractal geometries, various RFA design approaches to enhance device performance, and their significance is discussed. Existing research challenges and future directions are also discussed as part of this article.
