description A compact frequency-reconfigurable dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) for LTE/WWAN and WLAN applications is investigated and presented. The proposed antenna provides the frequency tuning between 1.60 and 2.71 GHz. The design consists of four identical rectangular dielectric resonators with permittivity of 10 each and three p-i-n diode switches that are located on the feedline network between each of two dielectric resonators. The proposed antenna size is 20 × 36 × 5.57mm3, which is suitable for mobile devices. The measurement and simulation results are applied to demonstrate the performance of the proposed antenna. From the measured results, it is found that the proposed antenna with acceptable performance provides four single-band modes with the impedance bandwidths of 17%, 11%, 14%, and 6%.
