Reconfigurable Antennas and RF Front Ends for the Development of a Universal Wireless Receiver

In anticipation of such technical evolution [1], we believe that researchers should begin addressing potential interfacing issues today. This includes multi-standards, multi-bands, and multi-functions as identified nowadays by many wireless service manufacturers and providers. We simply utilize one receiver set to support many standards such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS/3GSM for cell-phones, many other services (such as Bluetooth, WiMax, WLAN, Zigbee, GPS) and many more to come. This task is highly challenging and technically demanding; therefore, we need to minimize components’ redundancy in the design of the integrated RF front-end circuits and antennas to keep both the size and cost down.
