摘要

This paper presents a dual-polarized reconfigurable antenna loading electronically steerable parasitic patches. The proposed dual-polarized antenna is surrounded by four parasitic patches each of which is mounted by two varactor diodes on the ground. By tuning the varactors, continuous two-dimensional beam-steering can be achieved for each of the polarization. A prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated and measured. Excellent agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed. It is observed that the maximum beam-scanning angles in E-plane and H-plane are greater than ±25∘, which is suitable for 5G base station applications.
