Problem Statement. The expansion of the application area of radio-frequency microsystems (SWaP-C) places strict demands on their weight, size and cost, which traditional radio-frequency systems based on integrated circuits using printed circuit board (PCB) technologies cannot satisfy. Therefore, additional research is needed into the technology of reconfigurable radio-frequency microsystems to enable their reconfiguration by functions, characteristics, dimensions, weight and cost, without increasing or minimally increasing the hardware.

Objective. To present the technology of reconfiguration of radio-frequency systems, including hardware and software reconfiguration methods.

Results. The hardware and software aspects of reconfigurable radio-frequency systems are presented. The directions of hardware implementation of reconfigurable antennas and devices, as well as network topology are considered. The software implementation of software-defined and intelligent radio, reconfiguration strategies and space studies are described. Forecasts for the development of reconfigurable technologies for radio-frequency systems are given.

Practical significance. To summarize the main technologies for reconstruction of radio frequency microsystems, to provide developers with some criteria for selecting reconstruction technologies, and to provide new researchers with a context for developing reconstruction technologies.
