This paper presents a cross-type network design with a novel reconfigurable functionality to realize a tunable multiband antenna.By attaching a reconfigurable network at the feeding port of a broadband antenna, multi-input impedance adjustment enables the production of multimatching operating bands.Each band can be independently controlled by a single component with a considerably wide tuning range and high selectivity.

The experiments in this study involved using Hayward AquaRite 100 Parts an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna connected to the proposed cross-type network.The tunable antenna operates in a dual band of fL (1.39 to 2.

34 GHz) and fH Internal (2.1 to 3.6 GHz) with tunable frequency ratios of 168% and 132%, respectively.

The average bandwidths at fL and fH are approximately 50 MHz and 148 MHz, respectively, implying narrowband operation.The measured radiation pattern revealed that the tunable antenna exhibits a nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern at both 1.8 and 3.

5 GHz.The network circuit architecture can be extended to the multiband function type by adopting this matching approach.The amount of shunt matches determines the number of operation bands.
