“…Large-sized two ports antenna with no practical manufacture delivered have been distinguished. Edward et al [20] offered frequency reconfigurable with Wilkinson power divider (WPD) via eight PIN diodes. Two bands, limited return loss in some cases, and more complexity have been offered by the fabricated antenna.…”

A reconfigurable patch loaded via a switching radio frequency (RF) diode has been designed, investigated, and fabricated. The fabricated microstrip is able to adjust among several frequencies. A spectrum analyzer is used to test and measure different modes of operations. The proposed antenna is offered a new solution of uncomplicated and incomplex design via eliminating the biasing circuit while maintaining the finest performance. Two fast-switching diodes have been inserted as a new electrical reconfiguration technique. Thus, the suggested antenna is skilled to function in different bands. An ultra-small size antenna of 31×21 mm2 has offered various operating frequencies such as S-band at 2.4 GHz, C-band at 4.97 GHz, 5.06 GHz, 5.18 GHz, 5.1 GHz, and 7.94 GHz, X-band at 10.73 GHz, 10.91 GHz, and 11.9 GHz, Ku-band at 13.52 GHz, 14.78 GHz, 14.97 GHz, 15.63 GHz, 16.4 GHz, 17.3 GHz, and 17.48 GHz, and K-band at 19 GHz. The manufactured reconfigurable patch antenna is proficient for several wireless technologies for instance industrial scientific medical band (ISM): Bluetooth, wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi), ZigBee, internet of things (IoT), WiMAX, and smart power meters. Also, long term evolution (LTE), 5G applications, fixed wireless systems (FWS), and satellite communication applications.

“…To design a reconfigurable power divider, tuneable reactive elements such as varactors, diodes, or MEMS capacitors are used to adjust the operating frequency. By controlling the capacitance of these elements, the operating frequency range can be changed [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Tuneable power dividers [12,13] provide a tuning range from 0.83-2.4 GHz, but maximum insertion loss is 5.6 dB and 3.5 dB and consumes a large area.…”

“…Power dividers based on PIN diodes offer reconfigurability. However, linearity and leakage currents are the limiting factors [15,16]. Reconfigurable power dividers can be used in various applications, such as multiband communication systems, where the operating frequency range must be switched between different frequencies.…”

This article presents a reconfigurable and compact design of a power divider that utilizes a combination of Defect structures in the ground plane (DGS) and capacitance loading using a unique RF MEMS switch on the sapphire substrate. The amalgamation of the aforementioned techniques results in a reduced size reconfigurable power divider, wherein the length of the quarter wavelength transmission line is reduced to λ/16 from λ/4, and the higher order harmonics are suppressed up to 40GHz. The RF MEMS capacitive switch is designed, and its DC characteristics are simulated in Coventorware. The RF characteristics of the designed power divider is simulated in Ansys HFSS 19.2. The power divider utilizing RF MEMS technology has been fabricated through surface micromachining, requiring only four masks for fabrication. According to measurement findings, insertion loss and return loss are 3.57 dB and 24.6 dB (at 4.4 GHz) and 3.82 dB and 22.06 dB (at 5.4 GHz) when the switch is on and off, respectively. The total area of the design is 3.1 mm2(21.3%). The design under consideration can suppress harmonics up to the 8th order by 10dB. These features render it a viable option for employment in Radio Frequency Integrated circuits (RFIC).

“…However, the design process is also very complex. In addition, for the design of a power divider, the PIN diode can be used to achieve reconfigurability properties [24], [25]. Therefore, this work proposes the design and simulation of a modified reconfigurable WPD for WiMAX standards, at 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz.…”

<p><span>Nowadays, the world knows a huge revolution in telecommunications, which has led to the need to integrate many services, such as long-term evolution (LTE), 5G, wireless local area network (WLAN), and Bluetooth, in one receiving and transmitting device. In the same way, all active and passive microwave circuits must be compatible with the integration of services, including the power divider, which is the subject of our work. This passive component is used in several fields such as medicine, surveillance, radar systems and others applications. Wilkinson divider is one of the most prominent power dividers, it is classified as narrow-band power divider and it is a very useful component in mobile applications (2.4 and 5.8 GHz). In this work, a reconfigurable 4-ports Wilkinson divider is designed using PIN diodes and simulated using connected speech test (CST) simulator software. This designed divider can easily modify the operation mode by activating or disabling the PIN diodes.</span></p>
