Title:
POLARIZED WAVE SWITCHING AND DIRECTIONALITY-VARIABLE ANTENNA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/119316
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A polarized wave switching and directionality-variable antenna is provided
with a dielectric substrate (11), a radiation conductive plate (12) formed on
a front surface of the dielectric substrate, and a grounded conductive plate
(14) formed on a back surface of the dielectric substrate. At least one directionality
switching element and at least two polarized wave switching elements are provided
in the grounded conductive plate (14). The directionality switching element
has a first slot defined by cutting off the grounded conductive plate (14) in a
loop shape and at least two directionality switches (22a-22d). The polarized
wave switching element has a first slot defined by cutting off the grounded conductive
plate (14) in a loop shape and at least one of the polarized wave switches (23a-23d).
Control of the directionality switches (22a-22d) can achieve switching the
maximum gain direction of the directionality of the antenna while that of the
polarized wave switches (23a-23d) can achieve switching rotational directions
of a circular polarized wave emitted from the antenna.
