This proposes a new diminutive octa polarization reconfigurable circular patch antenna design. This new antenna can operate in eight different polarizing states (6 different angles of linear polarization and 2 circular polarization states) with the help of a reconfigurable probe feed network. The antenna comprises of a circular layer of radiation with four equally spaced slits at the boundary of the circular patch to obtain size reduction. The bias voltages of six pairs of PIN diodes are interval between each state. A 3 dB hybrid coupler and a RF switch are used to produce reconfiguration between circular polarization states of the right and left hand. The proposed antenna was designed using CST microwave studio, fabricated as a prototype model and tested which produces desired values for various parameters of antenna including compact size. The designed antenna operates within 2.4-2.5 GHz frequencies suitable for wireless applications


In this communication, a circular patch antenna is reported for dual- band operation based on VIAs. Initially the patch is resonating at single band with Linear Polarization (LP), and the Circular Polarization (CP) is obtained by inserting semi circular cuts at the edges of circular patch. The second band is achieved by loading the vertical metallic VIAs along the circumference of the patch antenna. The reported antenna is working at 2.4 GHz (Wi-Fi) and 3.5 GHz (5G) bands with Return Loss Band Width (RLBW) of 4.83% and 10.37% respectively. The Axial Ratio (AR) bandwidth at 5G band is 2.38% (3.31- 3.39 GHz)

Microstrip antenna with circular polarization can be applied for many applications. Some microstrip antenna with square, circular, triangular, and hexagonal shape has been designed to get return loss, axial ratio, and radiation performance. We compare twelve microstrip antenna by maintaining its substrate dimension, feeding shape, and outer patch dimension. Even though antenna has a circular patch, it doesn’t always produce circular polarization. From the simulation, we found that with add some structure, the antenna can reach multiband resonance from 1 to 6 GHz. The Circular patch antenna reached seven numbers of the multiband resonance frequency. The hexagonal patch antenna reaches the highest directivity as 9.53 dBi. The circular polarization is achieved for a square and Hexagonal patch shape with axial ratio value is 1.96 dB at 4 GHz and  1.26 dB at 4.1 GHz sequentially at phi 900 and theta 900.

This paper presents the polarization reconfigurable circular patch antenna. The reconfigurability feature is realized through the alteration of the feeding network. The antenna consists of a circular patch as a radiator, and orthogonally fed by a co-planar waveguide (CPW) slotline which terminated with tapered transformer. The CPW slotline are interconnected with quarter wavelength phase delay slotline. Eight switches are placed at the CPW transmission slotline, to either activate or deactivate the phase delay slotline. Consequently, depending on the switch configurations, the polarization can be altered to the desired sense, either linear, right-hand circular or left-hand circular polarization.
