A printed and minimal size antenna having the functionality of frequency shifting as well pattern reconfigurability is presented in this work. The proposed work consists three switches. Switch 1 a lumped switch that controls operating bands antenna. 2 3 beam switching When ON, operates at 3.1 GHz 6.8 GHz, covering 2.5–4.2 6.2–7.4 bands, respectively. OFF, only band. desired from can be obtained by adjusting ON OFF states Switches 3. Unique beams different combination gain greater than 3.7 dBi for all four cases.
