Abstract :
A numerical technique for the design, optimization and realization of antennas with mechanically/MEMS-enabled moving parts is proposed. The accuracy of this technique is evaluated through the calculation of the numerical results that express the relation between the velocity of the moving parts and the S11 parameters.
