In this paper, YagiUda shaped rectangular microstrip patch antenna fed by inset feed is designed to operate for frequency and polarization reconfigurability is presented. It consists of a square patch with four corners truncated and three parasitic patches placed on top. It operates as a frequency and polarization, reconfigurable antenna. Switches are placed in the gaps of truncated corners to obtain switching between Linear, Circular polarizations. The proposed antenna also switches between two frequencies by controlling current path between main and parasitic patches through switches. Its performance evaluation is carried out with the help of simulation and physical verification and the results are presented.
