Abstract
In this paper, quadruple polarized antenna system with a reconfigurable feeding network is presented. The proposed antenna system consists of the reconfigurable feeding network for fourth polarization such as vertical/horizontal linear polarization and right-handed/left-handed circular polarizations or 45 degree tilted vertical/horizontal linear polarization and patch antenna to receive the signals with various polarizations. In order to receive a signal in any direction, the proposed antenna is designed by electrical switches for reconfigurable polarization. The insertion loss of the designed feeding network in the proposed antenna system is approximately 1.2 dB. The measured 3 dB axial bandwidth and gain of the proposed antenna are about 2 % and 4 dBi(c).
