## Abstract This work describes the use of switched slits and slots to reconfigure the operating frequency and the radiation pattern of a Yagi patch antenna. The Yagi patch antenna is fabricated on the top side of a grounded substrate and is fed by a coaxial probe. By using switches to reconfigure

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Analysis of spiral antenna with open circuits on its arm is presented for beam adaptive applications. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that when the open circuits are appropriately positioned in the arm, the current distribution varies, causing the beam to steer. This effect can be exploited to design various novel beam switchable antennas. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
