            Abstract : 
In this paper a new reconfigurable antenna is presented. The idea of this work is to integrate two switches in well-defined positions to obtain reconfigurability in frequency in the operating band of the standard DVB-H (digital video broadcasting-handheld). The antenna is printed on a substrate size 92 × 41 ×1.56 mm3 with a relative permittivity of 4.4mm. The gain of the antenna for the three state ON-ON, OFF-ON and OFF-OFF is respectively 1.75, 2.03 and 2.2 dB, respectively.
