Abstract: This article aims to demonstrate the simulation and measurement results of a two-port and symmetrical microstrip antenna operating at 6.6 and 7 GHz frequencies. The essential advantages of the antenna in terms of numerical electromagnetism are that the geometry has a small electrical length at both frequencies, does not use a structure that requires extra computational load such as substrate integrated waveguide, and is symmetrical, thus reducing the mesh requirement by half. The proposed antenna was manufactured with the chemical etching method and the measurement results were presented. In addition, varying operating frequencies are shown with the aid of liquid metal to experimentally demonstrate the independent redesign/reconfigurability feature of the antenna. To further reduce the fabrication cost, the manufacturing process of the proposed antenna with the help of a 3D printer is explained, and the performance parameters are compared. Good agreement between simulations and measurements has been reported.
