## Abstract This paper presents two novel pattern reconfigurable microstrip antennas, which are formed by second‐ and third‐order fractal Hilbert curves, respectively. Both of the antennas have the feature of linearly polarized reconfigurable radiation patterns. By controlling switches on/off, the

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A novel radiation‐pattern‐reconfigurable circularly polarized microstrip antenna structure is presented. The measured results show that the antenna is able to provide a magnitude difference of more than 6 dB at 90° from broadside (in two principal planes) for the tangential (to the antenna surface) field component between the on and off states of the switches. Nonetheless, the vertical field component remains relatively unchanged. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
