Abstract
A novel design of a microstrip patch antenna with switchable branches is proposed to achieve circular polarization diversity. Two branches are incorporated into the patch and two switches are utilized to switch the branches on and off. By turning the switches on or off, this antenna can radiate with either right‐handed circular polarization or left‐handed circular polarization using the same feeding probe. Experimental results validate this concept. This design demonstrates useful features for wireless communication applications and future planetary missions. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
