Yes to both.
A corner-fed patch is roughly circularly polarized...I say roughly because there are some other pertubations typically made to force the sense of the CP, and also to improve the circularity. But if the feed is just offset a bit (like 1/4-3/4 rather than 1/2-1/2)...well that should act similarly to an offset-fed dipole, so you'd have higher input impedance and some feedpoint reactance. And the pattern linearity would be more elliptical (patches typically have relatively high crosspolar response anyway). Ok, to make sure I understand; If I put the feed on the lowerhalf of the patch the antenna would be vertically polarized? And, if I put the feed on the left or right half of the patch the antenna would be horizontally polarized? Now to complicate things, I see some patches split the difference and put the feedpoint on the left side of the lowerhalf. What does that do? Thanks, Mike |
