Reconfigurable coplanar metamaterial unit cell for antenna array applications

Lately reconfigurable antennas including frequency, polarization and radiation pattern reconfigurability have gained a lot of interest. In order to extend these reconfigurable designs to construct an antenna array, the importance of feeding network appears. In this work, the frequency reconfigurable antenna designs are the main point of interest and by combining it with an appropriate feeding network the whole system (antenna and feeding network) can be considered as a reconfigurable system.
