Abstract

In this work, a multi-polarized patch antenna operating at 28 GHz is presented covering two senses of circular polarizations (CP) and a single linear polarization (LP). Four loop slots are introduced in the ground plane under the corners of the square driven microstrip patch antenna. These loop slots can be shorted with the aid of 4 p-i-n diodes controlled via external DC biasing lines. Diagonal loop slots guide the formation of circularly rotating current on the driven patch activating one CP mode, while the other diagonal pair activates the opposite CP mode. Shorting all slots results in an almost plain ground plane making the antenna radiates LP waves. To enhance the bandwidth (BW), another square parasitic element on a thicker substrate is mounted on top. For the LP, a 10-dB impedance BW of 1.88 GHz is reported with a gain of 5.8 dB. While the CP's 10-dB BW is 2.07 GHz with a gain of 4 dB and axial ratio BW (ARBW) around 430 MHz. Radiation efficiency for all three modes is above %95.
