Abstract

An enhancing bandwidth tri-polarization reconfigurable antenna based on double C-shaped radiators is proposed. The antenna consists of a modified ground plane, double C-shaped radiators, and a feedline with a simple parasitic stub. The modified ground plane and the parasitic stub can improve the impedance matching, meanwhile, adjust the axial ratio performance. Two PIN diodes are embedded between the C-shaped radiator and the feedline. Three polarization reconfigurable modes can be achieved caused by switching two PIN diodes state, linear polarization (LP), left-hand circular polarization (LHCP), and right-hand circular polarization (RHCP). As the simulated results show, the −10-dB impedance bandwidth reaches 126.6% (1.76-7.83 GHz) in LP mode and 78.4% (2.96-6.78 GHz) in CP modes. And the proposed antenna has a 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 84% (2.6-6.4 GHz) in two CP modes. Therefore, the proposed antenna can meet the requirement of the modern wireless and satellite communication system.
