    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accomplish a function capable of communicating with a satellite and/or a terrestrial system and a function capable of receiving radio frequency signals having circularly polarized waves and/or linearly and vertically polarized waves.
    SOLUTION: The present invention relates to an antenna system for receiving both circularly polarized radio wave signals and linearly polarized radio wave signals, the circularly polarized radio signals arriving at the antenna system from a direction normal or oblique to a major surface of the antenna system and the linearly polarized radio signals arriving at the planar antenna system from a direction acute to the major surface. The antenna system includes a high impedance surface and a plurality of antenna elements disposed on the high impedance surface, the plurality of antenna elements being arranged in such a pattern on the surface that first selected ones of the antenna elements are responsive to circular polarization and second selected ones of the antenna elements are responsive to linear polarization.

    Abstract: A polarization converting surface for reflecting impinging radio frequency waves. The surface includes a ground plane and a plurality of elements disposed in an array a distance from the ground plane. Each element is preferably connected to the ground plane by a conductor, the array of elements having two major axes associated therewith. The elements have a first bandwidth corresponding to a first range of frequencies were a first reflection phase falls between -pi/2 and +pi/2 in a first one of said two major axes and a second bandwidth corresponding to a second range of frequencies were a second reflection phase falls between -pi/2 and +pi/2 in a second one of said two major axes. The first and second bandwidths partially overlap and preferably an upper half of one of the bandwidths overlies a lower half of the other one of the bandwidths.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reconfiguring an antenna array by optical control of MEMS switches. A light source is provided to direct light to individual optically sensitive elements which control delivery of actuating bias voltage to the MEMS switches. The light source is preferably separated from the antenna array by a structure which conducts the controlling illumination but provides a high impedance electromagnetically reflective surface which reflects electromagnetic radiation over the antenna operating frequency range with small phase shift, and which is disposed very close to the antenna array. Optically sensitive elements preferably include photoresistive elements, which are best formed in the substrate upon which the MEM switches are formed, and may include photovoltaic elements.
