A MEMS planar antenna array is provided comprising a planar field of MEMSs. A lattice of parasitic elements can be formed by selectively connecting at least one MEMS in the field. An antenna active element is formed by selectively connecting MEMS in the field. Alternately, both the parasitic elements and the active elements are formed by connecting MEMS. The parasitic elements have a number, shape, length, distance from the active element, and position with respect to the active element that are formed in response to selectively connecting MEMS in the field. Further, a plurality of different parasitic element lattices can be formed in response to selectively connecting MEMS in the field. Likewise, the active element has a length, shape, and position that is formed in response to selectively connecting MEMS. Patch, monopole, and dipole antennas are among the antenna types that can be formed from the MEMS.
