The purpose of this paper is to report on a microstrip reconfigurable antenna in the millimeter‐wave range. This antenna has directivity diversity and is based on a four‐element array. An original method is outlined to guarantee matching for each configuration without changing circuit. Great results have been achieved with a passive prototype and an active antenna is under consideration. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
