Abstract

In this work, a novel multiband, four-element, meandered-line reconfigurable planar F-shaped multiple-input-multiple-output antenna is presented. The proposed design includes chassis mode reconfigurability option as well. A combination of PIN and varactor diodes is used to achieve the frequency tuning over a wide-band. The proposed design covers several well-known frequency bands between 0.7 and 3 GHz. The design is compact and realized on a single commercial substrate board with dimensions 65 × 120 × 1.56 mm3 that can be used in small wireless handheld devices for cognitive radio applications.
