Summary:
This paper presents a dual polarized switched beam antenna. To achieve switched beam, 4-wire elements arranged near the square patch antenna are operated as a reflector. The beam is tilted by the on/off state of switch for wire elements. The proposed antenna can switch 3-beams by switching the wire element as a reflector along TE01 or TE10 current mode on the patch antenna. This antenna can also switch polarization by selecting the feeding port of patch antenna.
