The proposed single dual-band dual-polarized antenna uses multi-layer architecture, where feedings in shunt and in series are adopted for the two polarizations, respectively. A symmetrical array scheme collaborated with specified excitations is proposed for array applications to further improve the isolation level. A $pmb{1 times 4}$ array operated at 2.45 GHz and 3.5 GHz is designed for verification.

A two-layer substrate is here presented, where the upper one is made of homogeneous PTFE substrate for printing metal and the lower layer consists of a transparent container, including air and transformer oil layers. By varying the height of transformer oil layer, effective permittivity of the entire substrate underneath the patch can be tuned to realize frequency reconfiguration. Both linearly and circularly polarized (LP and CP) patch antenna prototypes are designed to verify the proposed methodology. The linearly polarized one is finally selected to be fabricated and tested.
