✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A frequency‐agile microstrip patch antenna is presented. A micromachined membrane is used as the ground plane below the antenna patch. Actuation of this membrane introduces an air gap between above the ground plane, and enables control of the antenna‐resonant frequency from 16.8 to 17.82 GHz (approximately 6% variation). © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract In this paper, the effects of ground‐plane perforations on the mode excitation of microstrip patch antennas are investigated. The perforations used consist of a single hole, multiple holes, and slots etched in the ground plane of patch antennas. We show that in narrowband patch antennas
