            Abstract : 
A wideband reconfigurable antenna with four polarizations is presented. The proposed antenna can achieve about 41.7% overlapped simulation bandwidth. The ±45° dual-polarized broadside mode can achieve about 12 dBi simulated gain in the operating band, and 7 dBi simulated gain of magnetic monopole, 9 dBi simulated gain of electric monopole. The simulated radiation patterns of four polarizations at the operating band are stable.
