Abstract
The growing demands of 6G mobile communication networks necessitate advanced antenna technologies. Movable antennas (MAs) and reconfigurable antennas (RAs) enable dynamic control over antenna's position, orientation, radiation, polarization, and frequency response, introducing rich electromagnetic-domain degrees of freedom for the design and performance enhancement of wireless systems. This article overviews their application scenarios, hardware architectures, and design methods. Field test and simulation results highlight their performance benefits over conventional fixed/non-reconfigurable antennas.
