Researches on Reconfigurable Antenna in CEMLAB at UESTC

This paper summarizes the achievement and progress in the research on reconfigurable antenna since 2001, in Computational Electromagnetics Laboratory (CEMLAB) at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). Several typical reconfigurable antennas are introduced, which can realize frequency, pattern or frequency-pattern reconfigurability by electrically controlling methods. Some techniques involved in the design and analysis of reconfigurable antennas are reported. At last, the development trend of reconfigurable antenna is predicted in the conclusions.
