Abstract :
In order to realize polarization and aperture reconfiguration, an array based on dual-polarization multilayer micro-strip patch antenna is presented. Several polarization reconfigurable techniques and their properties are described. The dual-polarization antenna is introduced for its orthogonal polarization basis and geometry characteristic. It can accomplish several polarization measurement modes in one platform. And it can realize the aperture reconfiguration of arrays for different demands. An array with seven subarrays is analyzed. The simulation results show its good performance of polarization synthesis.
