“…The switching speed of a PIN diode is in the range of 1-100 nsec (Christodoulou et al 2012). Reconfigurable antennas resorting to PIN diodes (Chen et al 2007;Chen and Row 2008;Kim et al 2008;Wu and Ma 2008;Sarrazin et al 2009;Shelley Perruisseau-Carrier et al 2010;Piazza et al 2010;Qin et al 2010b;Quin et al 2012;Hinsz and Braaten 2014) have a more dynamic reconfiguration capability. Other reconfigurable antennas resort to the use of varactors (Daviu et al 2007;Jeong et al 2008;Yang et al 2008;Jiang et al 2009;Oh et al 2010;Tawk et al 2012a;Bai et al 2013;Onodera et al 2013;Ramadan et al 2014) where varying the biasing voltage can result in varying the capacitance of the corresponding varactor.…”

“…Polarization diversity antennas can mitigate the fading caused by multipath scenarios and inclement weather and thus are beneficial in satellite, mobile and wireless communications systems. Implementing polarization reconfigurability to increase channel capacity is also attractive in MIMO systems [1]. In recent years many reconfigurable microstrip patch antennas [2][3][4], slot antennas [5][6] and monopole antennas [7] were proposed to achieve polarization, frequency and pattern reconfiguration.…”

Abstract-A simple polarization reconfigurable printed monopole antenna is proposed for wireless applications. Conducting strips are used to connect to the ground plane providing the necessary additional modes for circular-polarization. Linear-polarization, right hand or left hand circular-polarization can be realized using only two PIN diodes, which connect to the ground plane, minimizing their effect on radiation characteristics. The mechanism is described, and key antenna parameters are studied and optimized. The antenna is prototyped and tested for all polarization configurations Index Terms-Monopole antennas, polarization reconfigurable

“…Accordingly, in the last years several approaches for the design of antennas providing diversity functions in operating frequency [1,2,6], polarization [3][4][5] and radiation pattern [1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] have been proposed. Among them, antennas able to modify their radiation pattern while preserving the working frequency and polarization are key components for improving the performance and security of MIMO (Multiple-InputMultiple-Output) architectures [5,9].…”
