Abstract :
We present the idea of a simple frequency reconfigurable patch antenna that operates at multiband from 2 GHz to 4.5 GHz in this paper. By changing the position of the microstrip connecting elements on the antenna patches, the operating frequency will shift with fixed radiation patterns. Both simulated and measured results are provided and shown in good agreement.
