Abstract :
This paper presents a planar inverted F antenna with polarization agility. This novel structure can switch between two linear orthogonal polarizations. PIN diodes are used to switch and select the desired antenna polarization. Simulated results of antenna radiation characteristics are presented. This 2.4 GHz antenna can be used in wireless applications using polarization diversity to overcome fading
