Abstract :
In the present paper, a reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna based on varactor diodes is proposed. The basic version of the antenna was previously described in [7], and it has a multi-frequency response, although in the present communication the reconfigurability will be explored only in one of its bands, particularly the one with the lowest frequency of operation.
