Abstract
In this paper, the recently proposed patch antenna with switchable slot (PASS) concept is implemented to design a novel reconfigurable antenna with both frequency and polarization diversities. Using only one switch and a single patch, the antenna operates at 4.20 GHz with right-handed circular polarization and at 4.55 GHz with left-handed circular polarization. The fabricated antenna has both an acceptable return loss and a broadside axial ratio (AR) lower than 2 dB at each operation frequency. The frequency and polarization diversities of this design could potentially improve the reliability of wireless communication systems.
