Background
With the rapid development of wireless communication systems, reconfigurable antennas are getting more and more attention because of their effects of improving the communication capacity of wireless systems, eliminating polarization mismatch, and expanding the radiation coverage of antennas.

The design of electrically small antennas is mainly for dipole/monopole array combinations, corresponding to Huygens, yagi, etc. high gain antennas, broadband antennas, etc. But small electrically antennas with reconfigurable patterns are reported relatively rarely.
