Abstract
In this paper, the linear polarization switchable patch array antenna is proposed and the characteristics of the proposed antenna are investigated experimentally. The proposed antenna consists of a fed patch element and four parasitic patch elements. The fed element has a cross slot at the center of the patch and four switching diodes are embedded in a star form across the slot. The parasitic elements are around the fed element in order to enhance the gain.
