Abstract
In this letter, a novel frequency-reconfigurable monopole antenna with several switchable states including an ultra wideband (UWB) state, filtering narrowband states, and a tunable filtering band state is presented. The antenna, which supports most applicable overlook narrowband frequencies between the 2-6 GHz, can be used in multiradio wireless systems. Moreover, the proposed antenna, which can avoid UWB interference and has narrowband functionality, has good potential for use in cognitive radio.
