Frequency reconfigurable square slot antenna for wireless applications

This paper presents a square slot frequency reconfigurable antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a square slot on one side of the substrate and a microstrip feed on the other. Depending on the switching of pin diodes, the antenna resonates at 1.9 GHz, 2.3 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5.6 GHz and it supports DCS, PCS, GSM, LTE2300, WiMAX and WLAN.
