N2 - This paper presents a single antenna platform mechanically steered by magnetic force in which MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) and capacitors are fully integrated. The RF source, MMIC is vertically connected to the antenna plate, not on the BCB spring, so the antenna responses are not distorted with various tilting angles. A single MMIC is flip-chip bonded to increase productivity and reduce process time. The maximum deflection angles are 18.3 ° (H-plane) and 17.7 ° (E-plane) respectively and the tilting angles are proportional to the applied magnetic fields. RF beam patterns are obtained with various scanning angles. The scanning angle are - 14 °, 0 °, + 18 ° (H-plane), - 18 °, - 12 °, 0 °, + 12 °, + 16 ° (E-plane).
