Description
This edited book serves as a comprehensive resource, providing an overview of reconfigurable antennas for researchers, academicians, and industries. Reconfigurable antennas are classfied into three primary categories, namely frequency, polarization, and pattern, with specific applications in wireless communication systems. The book is organized into multiple chapters, offering a detailed exploration of various reconfigurable techniques for wireless systems. It begins with an introductory chapter that provides an overview of reconfigurable antennas. Subsequent chapters cover topics such as multiband and wideband frequency reconfigurability, reconfigurable metamaterial structures, and the reconfigurability of frequency-selective surfaces.
Additional chapters delve into specific applications, such as the utilization of the reconfigurable antenna with Kapton in smart antenna systems, the frequency reconfigurability of the slotted loop type of antenna, and the frequency aspects of radiation patterns. Furthermore, the book discusses beam scanning arrays utilizing PIN diodes for reflectarray antennas and the polarization reconfigurability of antennas using a PIN diode. The final chapter focuses on the implementation of the Sierpinski gasket fractal on a coplanar waveguide. Through these diverse chapters, the book offers comprehensive insights into the concept and applications of reconfigurable antennas in wireless systems, presenting valuable knowledge for researchers, academicians, and professionals in the field.
