In this paper, wideband to sub-band frequency reconfiguration has been achieved in a simple and compact microstrip patch antenna. The antenna has a ground slot embedded with two PIN diodes. Based on the position and state of the PIN diodes in the ground slot, the resonance bandwidth of the antenna is varied. The antenna operates at a wideband of 4-12.4 GHz and can be reconfigured to operate in two sub-bands 4.2-7.2 GHz and 4-10.2 GHz. © 2018, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc.
