Abstract
Wireless Networks are the backbone of modern communication. The development of Wireless Networks over the last decade is enormous and so the challenges are. As the signals are radiated in the free space, it is easier for unauthorized users to sniff, monitor the signal transmitted. Using the data collected, they can easily intrude the network. In this paper, we discuss on the security provided to the wireless transmission with reconfigurable antennas which are giving out various gain levels. By adjusting the gain of the yagi structures, the signal is confined within the required region. This process provides security against the intruders for WLAN.
