Reconfigurable Antenna Simulation: Design of Reconfigurable Antennas with Electromagnetic Simulation

Abstract

This article describes how state-of-the-art electromagnetic simulation tools can be used to simulate and optimize the complex geometries and system behavior of reconfigurable antennas. While a short overview of the main principles of reconfigurability is given, this is not the main focus of this article, and far more extensive reviews of reconfigurable antennas can be found elsewhere.
