Abstract
In this paper a new reconfigurable antenna technique is investigated. The technique revolves around rotating slots engraved into the patch of a microstrip antenna. By rotating the slots the antenna feed is being indirectly rotated resulting in a different antenna response for each slot position. The reconfigurable properties and advantages of this technique are demonstrated and discussed herein. Several examples and cases are presented to discuss the flexibility of the new approach.
