Wireless communication systems is increasing day by day , a number of antennas or a single antenna with multiple functions has become inevitable. In this paper, micro strip patch antenna is designed for frequency configurable using P-i-N diode. In this design, 4-P-i-N diode is used for switching application. The analyzed result of E-plane pattern and an equal gain H-plane pattern are obtained in all cases. This antenna has an attractive feature for important applications like Personal Communications Service (PCS), Mobile Satellite Service (MSS), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (Wi-MAX).

Keywords: Reconfigurable antenna, Wi-MAX, PCS, MSS, P-i-N diode, WLAN.
