Present scenario of wireless communication system required compact and multiple band antenna design. Since many systems are operating at multiple frequency range, requiring dual and triple band antenna for various applications such as WLAN, WiMAX, RFID, satellite communication, etc. Presently, many printed monopole antenna are proposed. Serve for wireless applications to cover the wireless standards for Wireless local area network (WLAN: 2.4–2.48, 5.15–5.35, and 5.75–5.825 GHz) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX: 3.4–3.69 GHz) are two among the available wireless standards which allow interconnections of devices for communication. To achieve multi-functionality, various parameters of antenna such as polarization characteristics, resonant frequency, patterns and impedance bandwidth etc., are reconfigured as per requirements [1].
Presently wireless communication systems are adopting the concept of cognitive radio system where using a sensing antenna performing the monitoring of the spectrum, and can be reconfigured to operate over a desired frequency band. This system is required a frequency band reconfigurable antenna as a sensing element [2]. Most of frequency band reconfigurable antennas providing the band switching between narrowband modes [3, 4, 5].
Antenna obtained the quad-band switching by implementation of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switch [3]. Another frequency band reconfigurable patch antenna is proposed that operate in four different modes with the help of switching elements [4]. Recently, many microstip patch antenna have been designed that indicate the switching facility in narrowband as well as wideband modes [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. In [6], a Vivaldi antenna is designed that provide the wideband and narrowband mode switching facility. A frequency band reconfigurable antenna with four photoconductive switches is proposed that operating with switching between the three narrowband modes and UWB mode [7]. In [9], antenna has been proposed with narrowband and wideband functionality with reconfigurability characteristics is achieved with the implementation of p-i-n and varactor diodes. Tunable EBG structure are analyzed with active switching devices FET and obtained the transmission characteristics of the structure [12, 13]. Many techniques such as defective ground [14], etching slots [15, 16], metamaterial loading [17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23], dielectric resonator [24], fractal geometry [25, 26], etc., are applied to accomplish multiband reconfigurable operation to cover various wireless applications.

As per requirement to design antenna to frequency band reconfigurability introducing the five switching elements p-i-n diodes placed inside the slotted ground. The proposed design is compact in size as compared to antennas are discussed in published literature [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. The simulation work of antenna is done by using CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS) software [27] and measurement is performed with the help of VNA (vector network analyzer-E5071C (300 KHz–20 GHz) ENA series Agilent Technologies). The fabrication of proposed structure is executed by using of PCB prototype machine (Caddo-71).

Images of measurement setup for proposed antenna.
The simulated and measured reflection coefficients S11 for all five states are shown in Figure 12. Comparison of simulated S11 with measured ones is indicated as a good agreement between them. From Table 1, for narrowband states I achieve the bandwidth of 16% (5.05–5.89 GHz) and 14% (5.01–5.79 GHz) in simulation and measurement mode respectively. For state II (narrowband), obtained bandwidth of 11% (8.76–9.80 GHz) and 10% (8.68–9.69 GHz) in simulation and measurement mode respectively. For next state III, antenna resonant in dual band mode and achieve impedance bandwidth of 13% (2.21–2.52 GHz) and 15% (5.07–5.89 GHz) under simulation and 12% (2.20–2.50 GHz) and 15% (5.05–5.90 GHz) during measurement. For State IV, antenna identifies the operating bandwidth of 14% (2.18–2.52 GHz) and 10% (8.78–9.71 GHz) and 13% (2.19–2.50 GHz) and 9% (8.70–9.60 GHz) during simulation and measurement mode respectively. For V state of UWB mode, antenna indicates the operating bandwidth of 141% (2.87–16.87 GHz) and 140% (2.97–16.80 GHz) under simulation and measurement mode respectively.

The resonant bands are achieved by switching states of diodes can serve several wireless applications such as WLAN, WiMAX, WiFi and UWB. As per IEEE standards the WLAN is identify for 802.11b/g/n (2.4–2.48 GHz), 802.11a/h/j/n (5.2 GHz) and ISM band (2.4–2.5 GHz). Wireless standards WiMAX, WiFi and UWB are identify for frequency bands of 2.3–2.4 and 5.15–5.85 GHz, 2.40–2.48 and 5.15–5.85 GHz and 3.1–10.6 GHz respectively. Proposed design also covers the airborne radar applications works at 9.2 GHz.
From Figure 12(e), the resonance is identified at the frequency of 3.0, 5.0, 7.0 and 9.6 GHz. As per the observation of Figure 13, it is found that the first resonance is controlled by the inverted L shaped slot dimensions since the maximum surface current is present across it. Second resonance 5.0 GHz is obtained due to the octagonal shape of radiating element and the feedline attached to the patch. Third resonance at 7.0 GHz is obtained due to the rectangular slot created on the ground plane. The two rectangular slits dimensions of

From Figure 14, the 3D-gain of the antenna is observed at different resonant frequencies, where the maximum radiation is identify at the various values of angles (theta and phi). It is noticed that at higher frequency, the directivity is improved so that the gain is increased. Figure 15 represents the measured antenna gain in single band, dual band and UWB modes for various switching states. It is analyzed that at lower frequency range gain is reduced whereas at higher frequencies (above 6 GHz) gain is improved as compared to reference gain level of 4 dB. It is also observed that antenna exhibit the acceptable gain in narrowband and dual-band modes. Figure 15(b) shows the average gain of 3.9 dB is achieved for UWB mode of the proposed antenna.
Simulated gain (dB) of the proposed antenna for different frequencies.
Measured gain of the proposed antenna for different switching states: (a) single-band and dual-band modes and (b) UWB.
Figure 16(a) indicates the variation of the simulated radiation efficiency from 96.9 to 79.5% and from 97.2 to 70.3% for switching states I and II respectively, for the proposed antenna. The variation of the simulated radiation efficiency from 95.5 to 73.3% and from 94.0 to 78.1% is observed for state III and IV respectively. Figure 16(b) shows the simulated radiation efficiency variation from 98.9 to 85.8% for UWB mode. It is noticed that the radiation efficiency is stay above the 70% in all the narrow band, dual band and UWB band. Another observation is that at higher frequency range the simulated radiation efficiency is decreases.

Patterns are analyzed at operating frequencies 2.4, 5.4, 7.5, and 10 GHz for E and H plane (principal plane). From Figure 18, there is dumb bell shape and quasi-omnidirectional like radiation patterns in H-Plane and E-Plane respectively, which represents that the proposed design is a good candidate for wireless communication. There is a good agreement seen between the measured and simulated radiation patterns for E and H plane with the slight difference caused due to assembly misalignments. A consistent omnidirectional radiation is observed in the E plane and a nearly bi-directional pattern is observed along the H plane for all the operating frequencies.
Measured and simulated E and H plane radiation patterns.
Both the measured and simulated E and H plane radiation patterns are appear reasonably stable with respect to resonant frequency. It is also observed that there is pinch-off along the end fire directions (
