Performance of Reconfigurable Antenna Fabricated on Flexible and Nonflexible Materials for Band Switching Applications

In this article, a novel frequency slot-based switchable antenna fabricated on flexible and nonflexible materials is presented for suitable reconfigurable radiations of Bluetooth, WiMAX, upper WLAN applications. Initially, the performance structure was simulated using CSTTM simulator evaluated experimentally FR4 structure. The same implemented (jean) substrate with relative permittivity 1.7. proposed textile prototypes were by optimal dimensions an E-shaped slot variation shape ground layer, integrated crossed T-shaped strip ON/OFF state operations. prototype compact (20 × 20 mm2), providing tri bands, has frequencies ranged at 2.36–2.5 GHz 3.51–3.79 5.47–5.98 distinct bands WiMAX WLAN, respectively, as well part UWB
