In this paper, a circularly polarized frequency, pattern, and polarization switching antenna is proposed. The antenna consists of an octagonal patch, a narrow octagonal ring and four diamond-shaped parasitic patches on the top layer. Two feed points of the radiating patch are connected to a Wilkinson power divider loaded with the phase reconfigurable transmission lines on the bottom layer. Reconfiguration of the polarization and pattern is realized by using PIN diodes as switching components. By controlling the bias voltage across the varactors, various narrow frequency bands can be achieved. The proposed antenna operates at a frequency tuning range from 1.96 to 2.03 GHz. The radiation pattern can be switched among five cases in yoz-plane and xoz-plane, with the switchable polarization between left- and right-hand circular polarization. In addition, these three types of reconfiguration can be controlled independently.

A compact dual-band circularly polarized antenna with wide half-power beamwidths (HPBWs) for compass navigation satellite system applications is proposed in this paper. The CP radiation is realized by arranging four compact dual-band inverted-F monopoles symmetrically to the center point, where the four monopoles are excited with a 90° phase offset through a compact sequential-phase feeding network. The compactness of the dual-band inverted-F monopole is realized by inserting two chip inductors in the horizontal portion of the monopole. The overall dimension of the antenna is only 0.211λ0 × 0.211λ0 × 0.057λ0, where λ0 is the corresponding free-space wavelength at 1.268 GHz. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna exhibits two overlapped impedance and axial ratio bandwidths of 50 MHz (1.236–1.286 GHz) and 40 MHz (1.532–1.572 GHz). Wide HPBWs of about 120°/125° and 121°/116° (XOZ/YOZ planes) at center frequencies (1.268, 1.561 GHz) of the CNSS-2 B3 and B1 bands are obtained, respectively. With these good performances, the antenna can be a good candidate for CNSS applications.
