Abstract: This paper proposes a 2-D fully polarized Van Atta array, which consists of four tri-polarized antenna elements. The tri-polarized antenna element comprises a monopole antenna and a low-profile microstrip antenna that widens the beam by folding four electric walls. This configuration enables the Van Atta arrays to receive and transmit arbitrarily polarized incident waves over a wider range. The measurement results indicate that the proposed Van Atta array exhibits a -5 dB radar cross-section (RCS) greater than 95° when TE-polarized waves are incident and greater than 134° when TM-polarized waves are incident, significantly surpassing the 2-D dual-polarized array.
