Abstract
Smart electromagnetic structures (SEMS) are capable of interacting wit h the surrounding electromagnetic field and responding to it. A system is ''smart'' when it integrates sensing, processing, and control elem ents (e.g., antennas, mural networks, diodes) in an autonomous manner. A SEMS capable of tuning frequency autonomously is described. Data ar e presented showing that the system can extend the useale bandwidth of a microstrip patch antenna in a frequency hop environment to more tha n twice the static value.
