✦ Synopsis

Abstract

This article presents a MEMS‐based bandpass filter with a reconfigurable frequency response. The proposed device consists of a stub‐loaded Branch‐Line Coupler in artificial transmission line technology, resulting in a very compact structure. Furthermore, by using a micro electro mechanical system resistive switch, a reconfigurable frequency response has been obtained. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## 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 17.8
