Abstract
This manuscript offers the design and prototyping of radiating elements with electronically tunable phase response, for reconfigurable patch array antennas. Different options are found in technical literature to obtain feasible reconfigurable array antennas: placing the active circuitry in the transmission lines or directly over the radiating element, obtaining the desired phase shift for each radiating element of the array. In this manuscript, the second option is selected and electronically reconfigurable stacked patches at Ku band (12 GHz) are designed and prototyped. Eventually, prototype measurements are offered. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 53:510–514, 2011; View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com. DOI 10.1002/mop.25804
