In this study, an Antenna Reconfiguration Controller (ARC) is presented.
This controller is an electronic circuit based on 8 bit microprocessor and can
be easily placed in the communication hardware platform. Proposed controller
circuit can be used to reconfigure the antenna frequency, pattern or
polarization for the possible 5G communication requirements. Designed ARC has
the ability of switching selected PIN diodes or optical switches in order to obtain
the desired frequency bands. Frequency reconfiguration of a monopole antenna experiment
has also been conducted to prove the proposed ARC reliability. According to the
measurement results the monopole antenna frequency has successfully been
reconfigured from 900 MHz (when the PIN diode is OFF) to 582 MHz (when the PIN
diode is ON).
