Abstract
A dielectric substrate for a configurable antenna has an upper surface and an opposing lower surface. An upper conductor patch is disposed on the upper surface of the substrate and a lower conductor patch is disposed on the lower surface of the substrate. A sensing antenna is formed in the upper conductor patch. An upper set of slot antennas is formed in the upper conductor patch and a lower set of slot antennas is formed in the lower conductor patch. Each of the slot antennas is loaded with a variable reactance component.
