In this paper, a single-feed equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna with truncated corners is used for achieving diverse radiation polarization. The proposed antenna is excited by a microstrip line, which is place parallel to an oblique side of the equilateral-triangular patch. Depending on whether the three identically-sized comers of the triangular patch are cut or not, the equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna shows linear polarization(LP) or left-hand circular polarization(LHCP) or Tight-hand circular polarization(RHCP). Based on the equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna with truncated corners, a novel reconfigurable microstrip antenna with switchable polarization sense is also proposed. The proposed reconfigurable antenna has a simple structure, consisting of a corner-truncated triangular patch, a small triangular conductor, and a microstrip line. Using a biased PIN diode between the patch and the small triangular conductor, it can produce LP or RHCP according to bias voltages. From the measured results, low cross polarization level when operated in the linear state and good axial ratio in the circular state are observed.

A microstrip array antenna is designed and tested for satellite broadcasting receptions. The Sierpinski equilateral triangular patch and SSFIP(slot-strip-foam-inverted patch) structures are used. This 1$\times$3 Sierpinski equilateral triangular patch antenna is extended to 8$\times$2 array antenna for satellite broadcasting receptions. The measurement results of the reflection coefficients and the radiation patterns of the manufactured array antenna show good agreements with the simulation results.

An microstrip array antenna is designed based on the Sierpinski equilateral triangular patch. The Sierpinski geometry is composed of 3 equilateral triangular patch and is easy to generate a circular polarization by sequential rotation array techniques. This 1${\times}$3 Sierpinski equilateral triangular patch antenna is extended to 8${\times}$8 array antenna for satellite broadcasting receptions.

In this paper, the high-$T_c$ , superconductor (HTS) microstrip patch antenna which is directly coupled to a microstrip transmission line is designed and the numerical solution which evaluate near electromagnetic field of HTS antenna is presented. This solution uses the interpolation function with the vector edge triangular element. The advantage of this element is the elimination of spurious solutions attributed to the lack of enforcement of the divergence condition. The results of this method have a good agreement with $TM_10$ mode in HTS microstrip patch antenna and show that the computation of resonant length considering the fringing capacitance effect at radiating edge are proper.

A novel design for equilateral-triangular microstrip antennas with switchable resonant frequency is proposed. For dual-frequency operation, the proposed design is achieved by loading a pair of slits in the triangular patch, and two PIN diodes are utilized to switch the slits on or off. By increasing the length of the slits, the lower resonant frequency can be varied in the range from 1.22 GHz to 1.72 GHz whereas the upper resonant frequency remains unchanged.

General microstrip patch antenna has small bandwidth. If corner of a patch antenna is properly cutted to be triangular shape, then input impedance of patch antenna should be varied. Using this characteristic wideband patch antenna can be implemented. In this paper, wideband microstrip patch antenna operating in 2.4GHz ISM band is investigated through tracking variation of input impedance corresponding to cutting shape of patch antenna.

In this paper, arbitrarily-shaped microstrip patch antenna in multi-layered is analyzed using spatial domain MoM. The triangular patch function is adopted here as the expansion function for planar arbitrarily-shaped microstrip. For example, an edge-fed rectangular patch antenna on a single-layered substrate is analyzed. The results show the agreement between the calculation and measurement.

Triangular patches have been studied, both theoretically and experimentally. We feund that provided radiation characteristics similar to those of rectangular patches, but with smaller size. In this paper, we designed an equilateral triangular microstrip patch antenna using cavity model analysis. Then, in order to improve narrow bandwidth, we add capacitive gap and air gap. Capacitive gap is located with square shape beside feeding point on the patch, and air gap is inserted between substrate dielectric and ground plane to adjust probe inductance. The analysis of characteristics and effects of each component was performed by commercial simulation tool, Ensemble 5.0. Throughout the simulation and experiment, we found the possibility of bandwidth enhancement in triangular microstrip antenna.
