This Paper Presents the design and simulation of RF MEMS switch taken on Microstrip patch antenna loaded with the circular type CSRR. The Tunability of the patch antenna is achieved when the two switches moves from upstate to down state arranged on the feeding line provided with the CPW. The actuation voltage required to move the switch downwards is 7.6 V. The switch operates at transition time of 0.8 µsec with the capacitance ratio 10. The return loss (S₁₁) of antenna − 28.67 dB is observed at the frequency of 19 GHz when one switch is in on state and at 16 GHz frequency the S₁₁ of − 29.31 dB is achieved by actuating the 2 switches at a time, which gives the reconfigurable property of the antenna. The antenna provides 2 GHz and 5 GHz frequency shift when single and both the switches are in on state. The antenna can be tuned for various applications in the range of 15–30 GHz frequency …
