Abstract :
A novel frequency agile floating-patch MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) antenna is proposed for 42 GHz applications. The floating-patch MEMS antenna is fabricated on a high resistivity silicon (HRS) substrate using surface micromachining technology. Simulation and experimental results for reflection coefficients and radiation patterns are presented.
