Design of a Reconfigurable Multi-Band Antenna with Partially Dredged Cloverleaf

This paper presents a novel reconfigurable multi-band antenna with a partially dredged cloverleaf shape that is tailored for size reduction and suitable for compact devices and urban environments. The antenna is capable of covering three distinct frequency bands: 3.22?4.06 GHz, 4.44?6.12 GHz, and 3.8?4.77 GHz, with respective bandwidths of 22%, 31.8%, and 22.6%, demonstrating its wideband capabilities. Utilizing various feeding configurations, the antenna enables the realization of multiple radiation patterns and frequency tuning. Validated through simulations and measurements, this design shows promise for 5G and advanced communication systems.
