Abstract
The development of micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) switch-reconfigurable antenna array element for space based radars was discussed. The basic antenna structure consists of a microstripe bowtie with a mixed dielectric substrate. Each antenna is intended to have a 25% impedance bandwidth. The measured bandwidths for the upper and lower frequency bands are 23% and 25% respectively. Polarization variability at each feed point is supported by orthogonal placement of two bowtie elements.
