Abstract: This paper presents a frequency reconflgurable cedar- shaped fractal antenna. The special shape of the patch makes it simpler to integrate RF switches to connect consecutive branches. The proper activation/deactivation of the switches alters the current ∞ow and changes the resonance frequency. Simulated and measured results show the characteristics of the presented design.
