Reconfigurable antennas have attracted a lot of attention especially in future wireless communication systems. Superior features such as reconfigurable capability, low cost, multi-purpose functions and size miniaturization have given reconfigurable antennas advantage to be integrated into a wireless systems. In this chapter, two types of reconfigurable antennas are discussed. First, frequency reconfigurable narrowband microstrip slot antenna (FRSA) is presented. The proposed antenna is designed to operate at six reconfigurable frequency bands from 2 GHz to 5 GHz with bidirectional radiation pattern. The second antenna design is frequency reconfigurable narrowband patch-slot antenna (FRPSA) is presented. The antenna is a combination of a microstrip patch and slot antenna. Nine different narrow bands are produced by tuning the effective length of the slot. The performances of the antenna in term of simulated and measured results are presented. In conclusion, good agreement between the simulated and measured results has been attained.

Wireless Systems are subjected to overwhelming advancements with the exponential demands in the field of Communication. This has led to the evolution of Reconfigurable antennas which gained enough significance as they are capable of modifying them.selves to different operating frequencies, patterns or polarizations. Out of these, Frequency Reconfigurable Antennas which can be operated at multi-frequency environment have been found to have a wide range of applications. The reconfiguration can be achieved using various switching mechanisms like, electrical, optical, etc. These are found to support various communication standards, ensure effective utilization of spectrum, reduce system complexity and hence cost. The recent researches on frequency reconfigurable antennas using electrical switches are analyzed in this paper based on their performances and a comparison on various switching techniques is presented.

This paper describes some of the challenges that need to be addressed in order to develop collaborative spectrum-sharing systems. The importance of these challenges stems from the assumption that rules for spectrum sharing can change after the deployment of radio networks and that the whole system must be able to adapt to them. To address such a requirement, we used a policy-based approach in which transmissions are controlled by a policy interpreter system, and the policies can be modified during system operation. Our primary goal was to develop a prototype of such a system. In this paper, we outline the implementation of policy interpretation, automatic generation of transmission opportunities in case a request for transmission is denied by the policy reasoner, and the generation of rendezvous channels for the synchronization of otherwise asynchronously running software-defined radios.
