High-gain polarization-reconfigurable antennas in the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) band are of high importance for 5G and future wireless platforms. This paper reports an innovative mm-wave antenna that accomplishes multi-linear polarizations (LPs) with high gains. It employs a TM510-mode cavity etched with a circular slot array on its top surface as the base excitation. A two-layer copper-cladded main substrate is introduced above the base cavity to produce a high gain beam with a low cross-polarization level. Moreover, five reconfigurable LPs can be attained by rotating the main substrate at a 36° interval. Simulated characteristics were validated by measuring the prototyping multi-LP cavity-backed antenna. The measured overlapped-10-dB impedance bandwidth ranges from 28.58 to 28.99 GHz for the five LPs. Within this bandwidth, measured realized gains vary between 15.5 and 16.8 dBi.
