By moving the liquid posts, the equivalent lengths of the dipoles can be altered, leading to changes in the self-phases of the two orthogonal dipoles. Thus, the polarization of the antenna can be adjusted. Moreover, this antenna employs a cavity-backed reflector, which can achieve unidirectional radiation. The simulated results achieved by CST Microwave Studio® indicate that the polarization of the antenna can be switched between linear and circular polarizations.

As a result of analysis, it is confirmed that the effect of mutual coupling between elements on the adaptive arrays is small.

The wave launched by a primary feed in the bottom PPW is collimated in the top one, so that a plane wave is identically generated for any azimuthal position of the source. The proposed solution uses a bed of nails, well-suited to fabrication by Si micromachining, to implement the RLL refractive index profile.
