Abstract :
A broadband stacked microstrip patch antenna has been designed and fabricated that operates in X-band frequency region, having 3 GHz bandwidth and almost unidirectional radiation pattern. Gain of the antenna is in the range of 3-7 dB at different frequencies. Frequency reconfigurability has been introduced in the antenna using pin diode to shift the entire 3 GHz band by 300 MHz.
