  • Abstract
    A novel reconfigurable Hilbert curve patch antenna (RHCPA) is proposed. The patch is figured using the third order Hilbert curve. By introducing some slots, at least two configurations of the antenna with different radiation patterns are formed. By using micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) switches to switch the configurations, the radiation patterns are reconfigured. Simulation results are given.
