Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Polarization reconfigurable antennas which can switch the polarization plane of a linearly polarized wave by changing the states of the switches on a radiating element or a feeding circuit have been reported by many researchers. Recently, we have shown that a linearly polarized wave is generated by combining left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized waves with the same amplitudes and the polarization plane of the generated linearly polarized wave changes continuously according to the phase difference between the circularly polarized waves. In this report, fabricated feeding circuit for controlling the phase difference and dual circularly polarized patch antenna are shown. The experimental results indicate that the polarization plane continuously rotates by up to $203^circ$ with the cross polarization discrimination kept more than 25 dB at 5.2 GHz.
