ABSTRACT:
A tunable patch antenna is described herein that includes a ground plane on which there is located a substrate and on which there is located a patch. The patch is split into two parts (e.g., rectangular parts) which are connected to one another by one or more voltage-tunable series capacitors. Each part has a radiating edge which is connected to one or more voltage-tunable edge capacitors. Also described herein, is a method for electronically tuning the tunable patch antenna to any frequency within a band of operation which is in a range of about 30% of the center frequency of operation.
