Abstract: This proposes a new diminutive octa polarization reconfigurable circular patch antenna design. This new antenna can operate in eight different polarizing states (6 different angles of linear polarization and 2 circular polarization states) with the help of a reconfigurable probe feed network. The antenna comprises of a circular layer of radiation with four equally spaced slits at the boundary of the circular patch to obtain size reduction. The bias voltages of six pairs of PIN diodes are interval between each state. A 3 dB hybrid coupler and a RF switch are used to produce reconfiguration between circular polarization states of the right and left hand. The proposed antenna was designed using CST microwave studio, fabricated as a prototype model and tested which produces desired values for various parameters of antenna including compact size. The designed antenna operates within 2.4-2.5 GHz frequencies suitable for wireless applications.
