Abstract
This paper presents a study of reconfigurable fractal antennas employing capacitance variations in the fractal structure. The input characteristics of this kind of antenna can be made frequency-agile using capacitive elements in a manner that partially modify an iteration or a group of iterations. By modifying that capacitance, a wideband via tuning could be achieved.
