## 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 wideband microstrip antenna using a coplanar capacitive feed with nearly 50% impedance bandwidth has been realized on a stacked air‐dielectric substrate with only one metal layer above the ground plane. In this article an approach of modifying the patch shape is proposed to obtain symmetric radiation patterns in the entire frequency band of this antenna. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
