This paper presents a frequency reconfigurable antenna enabled using a pair of annular ring slots on a coplanar waveguide (CPW) ground plane. Its initial wideband operation mode from 3 GHz to 6 GHz can be reconfigured into six additional modes: a dual-band mode and five single-band modes, with minim...
