Reconfigurable antenna with ability to radiate in more than one polarization state offers several degrees of freedom to antenna designer. The researches on polarization reconfigurable antennas are categorized into simple and complex feed structures. In this paper, several polarization reconfigurable antenna designs with and without loading which have been reported in the literature are discussed. %K Loading %K Microstrip patch antenna %K Polarization %K Reconfigurable antenna. %U http://www.ijrte.org/attachments/File/v1i6/F0436021613.pdf
