STTP II- REPORT ON TRENDS AND CHALLENGES IN DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF RECONFIGURABLE ANTENNAS FOR
INCREASED SPECTRUM ACCESS IN COGNITIVE RADIO
COMMUNICATION

This is six day STTP programme organized by ECE department, VRSEC during 24th -
29thAugust 2020.
Cognitive radio (CR) is a cutting edge technology for wireless communications that requires the
design of novel spectrum sensing schemes with high degree of reliability. These networks can
dynamically allocate spectrum to multiple users, thereby easing network congestion.
Reconfigurable antennas play important roles in smart and adaptive systems which offer several
advantages such as multifunctional capabilities, low front-end processing efforts. These make them
well suited for use in wireless applications such as 4G and 5G mobile terminals.

Er. Samar Shailendra, Scientist at TCS Research & Innovation Visiting faculty at IIIT Bangalore is
