Abstract—The development of 5G New Radio (NR) is widely concerned. In order to solve the problem of working frequency band, a design scheme of frequency reconfigurable antenna module covering 3.5 GHz and 4.9 GHz frequency band is proposed in this paper. It can be applied to 3.4-3.6 GHz band and 4.8-5.0 GHz band, which can meet the application of sub 6GHz band in 5G communication. The antenna module adopts a feed port, a tune stub, and five switches which can realize frequency reconfiguration. In this paper, the analysis of the parameters of the ground plane and the length of the tune stub is given, and the discussions of the S-parameter, the simulated electrical field distributions, the radiation pattern, the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and the Smith chart are also given, which proves the practicability of the proposed antenna. The size of the antenna module is suitable and the performance is excellent.

Index Terms—5G new radio, frequency reconfigurable, multi-band, microstrip antenna.
