Abstract : This paper presents the simulations, fabrication and measurement of a tunable planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). The antenna is made with three patches, connected and disconnected with RF-MEMS switches. Measurements show a tuning range from 1.5 GHz to 1.1 GHz depending on the switch state. The tunable antenna has a good matching better than 8 dB.
