Abstract :
A perturbed slot with reconfigurable polarization is presented that allows operation in LHCP, RHCP, or LP. This antenna topology is well-suited for wireless communications applications requiring polarization diversity. This design is realizable using cost effective printed circuit board technology making it an attractive design for low cost personal communications devices.
