This paper presents a frequency bandwidth reconfigurable antenna capable of gradually varying its bandwidth from 43 to 76% by keeping the lower band limit fixed and varying the upper one. The antenna consists of a disc-monopole antenna with four vertical slot lines and a via-shorted slot ring incorp...
