Abstract: The system and method for a tunable, slow-wave meander line antenna having a plurality of coplanar alternating high and low impedance traces. The tunable inverted L meander line antenna being suitable for space-constrained uses. Electronic switches, including solid state switches being used to tune the slow-wave meander-line inverted L antenna. Configurations of more than one antenna element providing polarization diversity, increased gain, and larger impedance bandwidths.
