Reconfigurable Array Antenna Using Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) Actuators Conference Paper

abstract

• The paper demonstrates a patch antenna integrated with a novel microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) actuator for reconfiguring the operating frequency. Experimental results demonstrate that the center frequency can be reconfigured by as much as 1.6 percent of the nominal operating frequency at K-band. In addition, a novel on-wafer antenna pattern measurement technique is demonstrated.
