Abstract
In this paper we present a new reconfigurable meander line antenna. The antenna is a non uniform meander line with five turns. A p-i-n diode is used as a switch to connect and disconnect parts of this antenna, allowing it to tune its operating frequencies between 4G LTE and other wireless communication applications. The position of the p-i-n diode is optimized to achieve tuning between various wireless communications applications of interest to mobile devices. The antenna with its compact size is designed, built and measured where analogy is found between the measured and calculated data.
