Abstract
This work describes the design of a radiation pattern reconfigurable microstrip antenna electrically controlled by packaged Radio frequency micro‐electro‐mechanical system (RF MEMS). The antenna operates at 12.24 GHz with good return loss characteristics and a ∼7.5 dBi gain at ±30° scan angles from broadside direction in the H‐plane. The integration of packaged RF MEMS and associated bias networks is also explained. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
