Study on Polarization Reconfigurable Patch Antennas

K. Haribabu

Abstract


When we consider a microstrip patch antenna, the main important feature that is been emphasized in recent years is about polarization reconfigurability. These reconfigurable antennas are providing multiple degrees of freedom to the antenna designers because they are able to radiate in one or more polarization states. The detailed study made on polarization antennas are broadly classified into two types: simple feed structure and complex feed structure. Multiple polarizations reconfigurable designs of antenna consisting of load and without load are reported in this literature are discussed in this paper.

Keywords: load, microstrip patch antenna, polarization, reconfigurable antenna
