Design and analysis of conformal and frequency-reconfigurable antenna for Wi-Fi 7 APs and routers

A frequency reconfigurable conformal antenna for Wi-Fi 7 applications is presented, covering 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands with bandwidths of 480 MHz (2.23–2.71 GHz) and 2.6 GHz (4.5–7.1 GHz). Designed on a Rogers 5880 LZ substrate, the conformal structure supports seamless integration with curved device surfaces while maintaining compactness and performance. Reconfigurability is achieved using PIN diode switching, enabling dynamic band selection for efficient spectrum utilization. Simulations demonstrate stable radiation patterns, high efficiency, and satisfactory gain across all operating bands, making the design suitable for next-generation Wi-Fi 7 systems.
