Frequency Agile Slot Antenna Using Contactless Capacitive Loading

In this paper, a reconfigurable slot antenna capable of tuning a full octave in frequency from 2 GHz to 4 GHz is presented. The design is based on changing the capacitive loading of a slot antenna by physically displacing a metal plate connected to a piezoelectric linear actuator that changes the ap...
