Single-Feed Dual-Band Dual-Mode and Dual-Polarized Microstrip Antenna based on Metamaterial Structure

A novel single-feed dual-band dual-mode and dual-polarized microstrip antenna based on metamaterial structure is proposed. The composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH TL) theory is used to design this antenna. Dual-mode can be obtained by exciting the antenna with a monopolar radiation in the n = 0 mode and a patch-like radiation pattern in the n = +1 mode, respectively. As the geometry of the radiating patch does not affect the infinite wavelength mode, circular polarization (CP) is obtained for the n = +1 mode by truncating the square radiating patch with the n = 0 mode, linear polarization (LP) staying unchangeable. Results of a fabricated one illustrate that this antenna is valuable in practical application for its low-profile, easy fabrication, radiation pattern selectivity and polarized diversity.
