Abstract
Two three-element polarisation-agile active microstrip patch arrays have been developed. The radiating elements are square patches each with two transistors mounted on adjacent edges. The patches radiate orthogonal modes, the relative phase of which can be varied. Radiation patterns show good agreement with predictions from theory, in both linear and circular polarisation, and no grating lobes were observed
