JELE_V5_N2_RP2 K. Nalini V.R. Anitha Journal on Electronics Engineering 2249 – 0760 5 2 15 20 Reconfigurable Antennas, RF-MEMS Switches, Self- Similar, Tree/ Sierpinski, Silicon Reconfigurability is the ability to adaptively change the characteristics in an antenna system. In this paper, Radio Frequency-Micro Electro Mechanical Switches (RF-MEMS) are integrated to provide a reconfigurable antenna system that radiates similar patterns over a wide range of frequencies. The different issues encountered during the integration of MEMS switches and the overall system design procedure will be described in this work. The final model will radiate at different frequencies with various radiation patterns. The proposed antenna can be used for the wide band applications in the range of DC to 40 GHz range with reconfigurability. December 2014 - February 2015 Copyright © 2015 i-manager publications.
