A dual band to wideband reconfigurable pentagon-shaped antenna with EBG unit cell is proposed. A minimal number of two EBG unit cell is deployed to realize frequency reconfigurable mechanism. By varying the state of the EBG the antenna is capable to change its dual band operation to wideband alterna...
