A planer pattern reconfigurable square loop antenna integrated in a complete wireless system is presented. The antenna is designed to operate at 5 GHz WiFi band of IEEE 802.11 ac. The antenna under electronic switching generates four tilted beams in the four space quadrants. These four beams are moved intelligently and automatically in space using a C# program for achieving and sustaining maximum possible throughput. This auto beam steering is advantageous for scenarios where a mobile user suffers from multipath fading in a complex electromagnetic environment.
