Summary :

We propose a wideband reconfigurable circular-polarized single-port antenna to realize high-density linear integration for use in ground penetrating radars. We switch PIN diodes at a T-shaped probe to change its polarization. The forward- and reverse-biased probes work in cooperation to generate circular polarization. Experiments demonstrate the working bandwidths of 20.0% and 18.6% in the left- and right-hand polarization states, respectively, with 7.2 GHz center frequency. They are wider than those of conventional reconfigurable single-port circular-polarized antennas.
