Abstract :
The aim of this work is to design and realize a Rectangular Reconfigurable Antenna (RRA) that operates from 0.5 GHz to 11.5 GHz with the perspective that the antenna has multiple resonating frequencies and is able to modify its radiation pattern as well, using Rectangular Micro-strip Patch Antenna elements in combination with PIN Diodes.
