Abstract

The paper demonstrates miniature reconfigurable antenna designed and fabricated on the high resistivity Si substrate. This antenna can integrate with a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) actuator for reconfiguring the operating frequency and is used for SOC (system on the chip). The switching between the two different frequency bands is achieved through the use of RF-MEMS switches. According to the ideal open/closed experiment results, when switch is on and off, the antenna operating frequency is 27.7GHz and 39.5GHz with low return loss, respectively. It is important for the next generation wireless communications and integrated antenna system on the chip
