  This paper reviews some of our contributions to reconfigurable metamaterials,
where dynamic control is enabled by micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)
technology. First, we show reconfigurable composite right/left handed
transmission lines (CRLH-TLs) having state of the art phase velocity variation
and loss, thereby enabling efficient reconfigurable phase shifters and
leaky-wave antennas (LWA). Second, we present very low loss metasurface designs
with reconfigurable reflection properties, applicable in reflectarrays and
partially reflective surface (PRS) antennas. All the presented devices have
been fabricated and experimentally validated. They operate in X- and Ku-bands.
