Abstract
In this letter, a metal wall reconfigurable millimeter-wave (MMW) polarization/radiation pattern-reconfigurable multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) cavity antenna is presented. First, different modes are excited within the same cavity. Then, the metal wall is used to adjust these modes, with a single slot enabling linear polarization and a crossed slot enabling circular polarization, allowing dynamic control of both polarization and radiation direction. Finally, a MIMO antenna prototype operating at a center frequency of 28.2 GHz is fabricated and tested. In both states, good isolation and gain are achieved, making it suitable for millimeter-wave wireless communication systems.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
