abstract = "In this paper, the design and the experimental validation of a
polarization reconfigurable microstrip phased array is presented.
The reconfigurability between the right-handed (RHCP) and
left-handed (LHCP) circular polarization is achieved using
electronic switches (PIN diodes) combined with truncated corners
microstrip radiators. In the design, special attention was given
to the matter of reducing back lobe radiation effects using the
concept of asymmetric positioning of the radiators with respect to
the ground plane. Afterward, the main lobe axial ratio behavior
for several beam steering and side lobe level conditions are
investigated. Finally, the polarization reconfigurability is
achieved and the design is validated through the good agreement
between theoretical and experimental results.",
