Abstract
This paper reports the design of probe-fed moderately thick microstrip antenna for dual orthogonal circularly-polarized radiation. The antenna is composed of a rectangular truncated patch and the polarization diversity is achieved by controlling the states of four PIN diodes. The rectangular patch is designed according to the null reactance condition. Simulated radiation pattern, reflection coefficient magnitude and axial ratio are in good agreement with experimental results.
