Abstract
In this work, a polarisation agile antenna based on an array of two injection locked oscillators is presented. The proposed topology provides a theoretical relative phase shift range of 360 degrees between the output signals, which can be easily controlled through two DC voltages. The behaviour of the system is studied, both through simulations and measurements of the manufactured prototype, focusing on the joint performance of the oscillators. The data transmission capabilities of the system are analysed, proposing a solution for phase modulated signals.
