Abstract :
This paper presents a reconfigurable antenna array that is made of four printed dipole elements. The change in the array operating frequency is achieved by feeding separately each array element via an external reconfigurable feeding network. The pattern diversity is achieved by incorporating a printed reflector between the array elements. A prototype antenna is fabricated and tested.
