Frequency Reconfigurable Microstrip Patch Antenna using Different Reconfiguration Techniques for mm wave Applications

The presented work is a Y slotted mm –wave reconfigurable micro strip patch antenna. In the proposed antenna frequency reconfigurability is achieved by implementing different electrical reconfiguration techniques PIN Diode, Varactor diodes and RF switches. The frequencies that are produced using our proposed antenna are in a range of 30 - 50 GHz and to find the best PIN diode we worked with a variety of them and compared the outcomes. The proposed antenna is designed using Ansys electromagnetic suite 2019 R1.
