Reconfigurable antennas for cognitive radio and space applications

Recent advances in reconfigurable RF components and systems have helped in the development of very complex reconfigurable antennas capable of radiating more than one pattern at different frequencies and polarizations. These types of antennas are becoming critical components in modern telecommunication systems from cognitive radio to cubesat communications.
