This paper presents a simple and compact coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed circular-shaped reconfigurable patch antenna with a switchable circular polarization (CP) sense. The circular patch is cut at the ends vertically and switches are introduced to connect the patch ends. By controlling the ON/OFF status of the two switches, the polarization of the antenna can be switched between two states: left-hand circular polarization and right-hand circular polarization. The patch is designed on a very thin RT Duroid substrate of dielectric constant (εr) of 2.2 and thickness of 0.254 mm. The overall antenna dimensions are 35 × 30 mm. The antenna is designed and simulated using finite-element method -based EM simulator, HFSS. For each switching condition the return loss curve, radiation pattern are obtained. Axial ratio curves for polarization diversity cases are also plotted. Parametric studies have been made in order to get optimized values for certain antenna dimensions such as thickness, CPW ground to feed gap, etc.

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)


Slit loaded circularly polarized patch antenna embedded on planar structure and curvature structure were investigated. The curvature effect on slit loaded patch antenna determines the limiting value of radius of curvature to obtain circular polarization. At a certain radius of curvature (ROC) around 131.3 mm, circular polarization have been obtained with axial ratio band width around 15 MHz and return loss bandwidth around 56 MHz compared with 17 MHz and 65 MHz as that of planar structure. The beam width responsible for coverage of planar patch are 104 and 107 degree with respect to 84 degree and 124 degree of curved patch at phi = 0 and 90 degree respectively

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.

A broadband circularly polarized stacked probe-fed antenna suitable for UHF RFID applications is presented and studied. The proposed antenna is fed by two probes which are connected to a hybrid coupler. Two parasitic patches are stacked above a primary probe-fed patch to enhance the bandwidth of the antenna. The optimized antenna prototype achieves gain of more than 6.5 dBic, axial ratio of less than 3.0 dB, and return loss of less than−15 dB over the UHF band of 820–980 MHz (17.7%). Parametric studies are carried out to demonstrate the effects of antenna geometry parameters on the performance. The proposed antenna can be a good candidate for UHF RFID applications.

In this paper, a single fed polarization reconfigurable antenna is proposed. The antenna consists of a radiating patch incorporated with a diagonal-shaped slot at its center. Four p-i-n diodes are used for polarization reconfiguration. The p-i-n diodes are placed in diagonal slot region. The proposed antenna is designed to operate in three states – linear polarization (LP), left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) and right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) by biasing corresponding p-i-n diodes. The antenna gives measured peak gain of 6.2 dBi for LP state and 5.82 dBic for both RHCP and LHCP states. It also achieves 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 5.95% for both RHCP and LHCP configurations. The antenna finds application in areas of modern wireless communication.

AbstractA broadband circularly polarized slotted square patch antenna with horizontal meandered strip (HMS) is presented and studied. The HMS feeding technique provides the good impedance matching and broadside symmetrical radiation patterns. A set of cross asymmetrical slots are etched on the radiating patch to realize the circular polarization. An electrically small stub is added on the edge of the antenna for further improvement in performance. Measured 10-dB impedance bandwidth (IBW) and 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of the proposed antenna are 32.31 % (3.14–4.35 GHz) and 20.91 % (3.34–4.12 GHz), respectively. The gain of the antenna is varied from 3.5 to 4.86dBi within 3-dB ARBW. Measured results matched well with the simulated results.

Abstract In this work circularly polarization diversity has been achieved by utilizing two Schottky diodes on low profile cavity-backed substrate integrated waveguide (CBSIW). In comparison with other studies in the literature, the size of antenna has been reduced to 0.54λg × 0.76λg by helping a 50-Ohm coaxial feed line. The impedance bandwidth, axial ratio bandwidth and antenna gain are improved to 10.02 %, 5.2 % and 7.68dBi, respectively. In addition, the proposed antenna can generate either a left-hand circularly polarized (LHCP) or a right-hand circularly polarized (RHCP) radiation. The developed antenna was fabricated and tested and the achieved results were in good agreement with the simulated one.

In this paper, a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed dual-band uniplanar tri-polarization reconfigurable antenna based on the PIN diode switch is proposed. The proposed antenna can be reconfigured between the linear polarization (LP) and the circular polarization (CP) mode, including both the right-handed circular polarization and left-handed circular polarization simultaneously within the dual operating bands. The central frequencies of the bands are 2.63 and 4.42 GHz, respectively, and the overlapped operating bandwidth is 17.8 and 3.40%. The proposed reconfigurable antenna is a closed-slot antenna fed by the CPW transmission line and the reconfigurable mechanism is to regulate the T-shaped driven stub through switching the PIN diodes on and off. The scattering parameters, axial ratio, radiation pattern, gain, and the radiation efficiency of the proposed antenna are all investigated in the following. The optimized antenna has been fabricated to experimental test, the simulated and the measured results agree well with each other. The lower frequency band of the proposed antenna covers the 2.40 GHz WLAN specification and the upper band can be used for the 5 G communication (4.40–4.50 GHz); therefore it is suitable to be applied in the mobile wireless communication.
