INTRODUCTION

Antenna can be defined as conductor or a group of

conductors used for radiating electromagnetic energy

into space or collecting it from space. Importance of Switchable ability:To obtain the switchable ability of the antenna, the concept of a reconfigurable antenna was proposed. The

reconfigurable

characteristics of antennas are very

valuable for many modern wireless communication and radar system applications.

RECONFIGURABLE MICRO-STRIP PATCH ANTENNA

A low-profile micro-strip patch antenna has been designed for tuning on a discrete set of instant frequencies. The frequency re-configurability is obtained by resorting to Electrically actuated switches operated via a software-controlled biasing network. A low-cost PIC microcontroller is employed to

control the antenna operative condition among the available

states. Measurements on a fabricated prototype show a good matching with simulations and prove the reliability of the

proposed configuration
