proper trimming of the flange parameters any desired polarization can be obtained from the horn
Design of a dual-port circular patch antenna with a sector-slot for dual-frequency operation is presented. The antenna resonates at two distinct frequencies with orthogonal polarizations and broad radiation characteristics. Unlike the conventional circular patch, this antenna can be microstrip-fed to operate at either of the resonances. The two polarizations can be simultaneously excited using two electromagnetically coupled ports with an isolation better than −30 dB between the ports. This antenna has the added advantage of size reduction of 44% compared to the conventional circular patch without any reduction in gain.

Abstract:
A compact dual-band printed antenna covering the 2.4 GHz (2400-2485 MHz) and 5.2 GHz (5150-5350 MHz) WLAN bands is presented. The experimental analysis shows a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of up to 32 and 8% for 2.4 and 5.2 GHz, respectively. The measured radiation patterns are nearly omnidirectional, with moderate gain in both the WLAN bands.
A compact, dual band coplanar waveguide fed modified T-shaped uniplanar antenna is presented. The antenna has resonances at 1.77 and 5.54 GHz with a wide band from 1.47–1.97 GHz and from 5.13–6.48 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 34% and 26%, respectively. Also the antenna has an average gain of 3 dBi in lower band and 3.5 dBi in higher band with an average efficiency of 90%.
Design of a compact dual frequency microstrip antenna
is presented. The structure consists of a slotted circular patch with
a dielectric superstrate. The superstrate,not only acts as a radome,
but improves the bandwidth and lowers the resonant frequency also.
The proposed design provides an overall size reduction of about 60%
compared to an unslotted patch along with good efficiency,gain
and bandwidth. The polarization planes at the two resonances are
orthogonal and can be simultaneously excited using a coaxial feed.
Parametric study of this configuration showed that the frequency ratio
of the two resonances can be varied from 1.17 to 1.7 enabling its
applications in the major wireless communication bands like AWS,
DECT,PHS,Wi.Bro, ISM,and DMB. Design equations are also
deduced for the proposed antenna and validated.
