Abstract :
This paper investigates the redundancy and loss reduction in reconfigurable antenna structures. We use graph models as tools to understand and optimize reconfigurable antenna structures. Examples are given and formulas are suggested to be used by reconfigurable antenna designers to obtain non redundant structures.
