Abstract :
A circular polarization reconfigurable dipole antenna allowing switching between two circular polarizations is proposed. It consists of a linearly polarized dipole antenna and array of polarization dependant EBG structures as the ground plane. Switching elements are used on the ground plane to get the required reflection phase for reconfigurable circular polarization.
