Abstract
A four-band MEMS-based reconfigurable antenna is designed and tested. Future work would focus on the reduction of the effect of second harmonic resonances. Due to the highly scalable nature of the design, this topology can be a good basis for building future cognitive base stations that could provide higher bandwidth, large number of bands and multi-standard support for end users and the communication backbone.
