Abstract: This paper presents the design of a novel reconfigurable E-patch microstrip antenna that can operate on 6G technology. This antenna is simulated using HFSS simulation software. The antenna is designed on a 2 mm x 1.4 mm Roger RT/duroid 5880 ™ substrate fed by a microstrip line. The simulated S11 and VSWR results indicate that the antenna can operate at 118 GHz, a frequency considered to be part of the 6G spectrum. The antenna offers high gain, low profile, and high efficiency, making it suitable for future applications in the 6G technology. This antenna is also designed to be reconfigurable through a combination of PIN diodes and slot techniques, enabling dynamic frequency tuning. The results demonstrate that the antenna is reconfigurable in the frequency range of 110 GHz to 182 GHz.
