- FIG. 16 shows the radiation directivity of the antenna of the second embodiment.
- Fig. 16 (b) shows the directivity switching switch 17 opened, the polarization switching switch 18a opened, and 18b conducted.
- Table 4 summarizes the turning direction and the maximum gain direction of the circularly polarized wave in each operation state when the directivity switching switch 17 and the polarization switching switches 18a and 18b are switched in the second embodiment. It is a table.
- the polarization switching 'directivity variable antenna according to the present invention is characterized by being capable of simultaneously switching the turning direction of the circular polarization and switching the maximum gain direction of the radiation directivity while having a simple configuration. It is useful as an antenna for use in indoor mobile terminals. It is also useful as a small receiving antenna for satellite broadcasting and on-board antenna for ETC, which are currently transmitting and receiving with circular polarization. It is also useful as an antenna for wireless power transmission.
