New architectures for microelectromechanical system MEMS reconfigurable Vee-antennas and RF switches are presented. The planar antenna structure can be dynamically reconfigured to steer the radiation beam or change the shape of the beam using electrically-controlled microactuators. The radiation pat

Abstract
A reconfigurable Vivaldi antenna is presented.It has a capability to operate in a wideband mode (2β8 GHz) and three different subβbands (2.5, 5, and 7.5 GHz) by reconfiguring the antenna geometry. The measurement results with ideal switches demonstrate the performances of the proposed designs. The proposed antenna provides frequency agility, which may be useful in future multimode radio systems. Β© 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract Observation of crossβpolarized reflections has been proposed for radarβbased breast tumor detection. In this article, a novel crossβVivaldi antenna is designed and investigated for this application. The antenna performance is examined over the frequency range of 2.2β5.4 GHz. Results obt
In this article, a frequency reconfigurable antenna using the ON/OFF states of a MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) switch is presented. This structure is based on a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA), designed with an L-shaped open slot etched upon its main plate. According to the switch position
