“…Radio-frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS) have been proposed for integration into reconfigurable antennas since 1998 (Brown 1998). Many designs have resorted to RF MEMS to reconfigure their performance (Huff and Bernhard 2006;Erdil et al 2007;Nikolaou et al 2009;Cetiner et al 2010;Grau et al 2010;Yang et al 2011;Zohur et al 2013). RF MEMS-based reconfigurable antennas rely on the mechanical movement of these switches to achieve reconfiguration.…”

“…However, compared with conventional semiconductor-based passive devices, MEMS technology enables the realization of RF passive components with low loss, high isolation, small size, low power consumption, high quality factors, high tunable characteristics and high linearity. So in recent year, MEMS switches are used broadly in reconfigurable antennas [8][9][10], but most of which work in low frequency. Compared with low frequency antennas, millimeter band antennas have several advantages.…”

Abstract-This paper presents the use of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) switches to realize the radiation pattern reconfiguration of microstrip antenna, which works in Ka-band. The antenna was fabricated on a silicon substrate and designed to reconfigure radiation pattern at the operation frequency of 35 GHz. The simulation results show that by controlling the states of MEMS switches between the driven element and two parasitic elements, the antenna can achieve reconfiguring into three maximum radiation directions in the H-plane
