C. Model 3
This model shows a slotted reconfigurable patch antenna
fed by Microstrip line feeding technique. Antenna has the
dimensions of 5x5x1.571mm3. The main radiating element
is rectangular shaped patch having slot and dimensions of
3.2x3.6mm2. The substrate used in model 3 is named as
Rogers RT Duroid 5880 with relative permittivity of 2.2 with
the area of 5mmx5mm and thickness of 1.571mm. Resistor is
used to reconfigure the resonating frequency of antenna. The
radiating patch is fed using Microstrip line feed with length
1.6mm and width 0.9. Fig.1.3 shows the geometry of slotted

C. Radiation Characteristics
The far field plot for gain of the one model among the four
models is shown in fig-5 . The gain is 5.65dB observed at
100? resistance, so by increasing the resistance of a resistor
from 100Ω to 110Ω the decrease in gain is observed 5.64dB
while decreasing the value of resistance 10? below from the
pre-defined designed value of 100? which is 90? the gain is
increases which is 5.66dB at 90Ω resistance of a resistor as

IV. CONCLUSION
A GCPW fed millimeter-wave frequency reconfigurable
antennas are presented. Through variable resisters shifting
in resonance frequency in 58-62GHz band is achieved. The
proposed antennas have compact structure and are easy to
fabricate along with stable 3dB beamwidth for different con-
figuration. The effects of slot position, slot length and feeding
position have been investigated and analyzed on the return
loss, bandwidth, and frequency ratio for each model. The
simulated and the measured results are acceptable in terms of
the gain, return loss, bandwidth and required frequency ratio.
