Abstract :
We present a dual-band frequency reconfigurable microstrip antenna based on printed split-ring elements for WLAN applications. The printed split-ring resonator elements enable an electrically small design providing single or dual band performance that is tunable using an integrated switch. In addition, the antenna exhibits uniform radiation patterns at both frequency bands.
