Abstract

In this paper we proposed a design of diamond shaped frequency reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna by altering the physical structure of the antenna. The design consists of two triangular shaped patches with a gap. The triangular shaped patches can be connected or disconnected by using Radio Frequecncy Micro Electro-Mechanical System (RF MEMS) switch. By making the switches OFF / ON, the length of radiating part of the patch antenna can be varied and thus antenna can be tuned to different frequencies from 7.38 GHz to 7.58 GHz.
