A Wideband Non-Uniform Metasurface-Based Circularly Polarized Reconfigurable Antenna

This paper presents a low-profile circularly polarized (CP) antenna with wideband and polarization-reconfigurable characteristics. The proposed antenna consists of a truncated-corner patch working as a CP source and a non-uniform metasurface (MS) acting as parasitic elements for performance enhancem...
