Reconfigurable Fractal Devices

Abstract

In modern wireless systems, it is essential to incorporate numerous functions into a single component to accomplish cost-effective, lossless, and miniaturized properties. To achieve these facilities, multifunctional devices (MFDs) are necessary. An MFD is an electromagnetic radiating or receiving device that offers additional functions that might comprise multiple bands, reconfiguration, filtering, and active devices. A frequency-reconfigurable radiating device is able to adjust its frequency of operation over a wide bandwidth, which reduces the need for multiple radiating devices for different wireless services. Hence, the price and the dimensions of the wireless system can be minimized.
