Abstract

This paper discusses the design and performance of a frequency reconfigurable antenna for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The antenna is designed to operate on multiple frequency bands and be reconfigurable to adjust to different communication standards and environmental conditions. The antenna design consists of monopole with one PIN diode and 50Ω feed line. By changing the states of the diode, the antenna can be reconfigured to operate in a dual-band mode and a wideband mode. The performance of the antenna was evaluated through simulation. The antenna demonstrated good impedance matching, acceptable gain, and stable radiation patterns across the different frequency bands. The antenna has compact dimensions of (26×19×1.6) mm3. It covers the frequency range 2.95 GHz -8.2 GHz, while the coverage of the dual- band mode is (2.7-3.8) GHz and (4.57-7.4) GHz. The peak gain is 1.57 dBi for the wideband mode with omnidirectional radiation pattern. On the other hand, the peak gain of the dual-band mode is 0.87 dBi at 3 GHz and 0.47 dBi at 6 GHz with an omnidirectional radiation pattern too.
