Abstract: Wireless communication technology has experienced drastic developments during the last few decades. Meanwhile, the reconfigurable antenna has attracted more researchers due to its growing needs in various applications. Reconfiguration was performed to replace numerous antennas with a single reconfigurable antenna, which is capable of changing the Frequency, Polarisation, Radiation Pattern, etc. Antenna reconfigurability is achieved by deploying several switching mechanisms; among these, electronic switching mechanisms are commonly used due to their simplicity, reliability, and efficiency. This paper presents a review of various implementation techniques for antenna reconfiguration using metasurfaces. Some of the reviewed factors are: A metasurface is the distribution of electrically small scatterers, known as two-dimensional metamaterials. A metamaterial is an artificially constructed periodic array structure that consists of subwavelength cells. Some of the reviewed challenges in reconfiguring the antenna include modelling of reconfigurable reflectarrays, low-profile designs, high gain, and unidirectional radiation patterns. Finally, some of the features, parameters and fundamental properties for designing reconfigurable antennas were investigated. Based on the study conducted, a reconfigurable structure for 5 G applications using metasurface is proposed
