Authors: Mani Nayan, Aakash Varunendra, Megha Dadel

Abstract: 

The antennas offering dynamic frequency adjustment feature are becoming more promising. In the presented antenna structure, an antenna capable of reconfiguring its frequency dynamically has been designed and analyzed. The microstrip patch antenna consists of two PIN diodes at different positions. The range of frequency is from 24.33 GHz to 27.50 GHz. The presented antenna finds its application in 5G NR mmWave applications, offering extreme data speeds and capacity. The return loss and VSWR values obtained lies in the desired range. The total antenna gains have been simulated using ANSYS HFSS software.
