Abstract

This study proposes a prototype of a reconfigurable Yagi-Uda Antenna that is capable of reconfiguration of the radiation pattern. The proposed flexible antenna will work as the director, and reflector can be switched in a Yagi-Uda set up antenna by using a radio frequency PIN diode. The radiating signals can be directed at desired signals away from undesirable signals that are impinging on the antenna in opposite directions. The antenna will function in the frequency of 5–6 GHz and will be focusing on increasing coverage, signal quality, and reduction of interference in changing wireless environments. The parameter specifications of the antenna performance and design were developed and tested empirically. The antenna’s reconfigurable performance was validated through both simulated and experimental results, demonstrating its suitability for Wi-Fi, 5G, and other modern wireless communication technologies. This confirms its adaptability and effectiveness across various current wireless standards, making it a versatile solution for dynamic communication systems requiring flexible and efficient antenna configurations.

Keywords: Antenna, Yagi-Uda, pattern reconfigurable, radiation, detection, MIMO
