Description
Summary:In this paper coaxially-fed circular microstrip patch antenna with ferrite ring in its cavity domain is presented in order to obtain dual-band circularlypolarized antenna in X-band having wide angle axial ratio in both bands. A mode matching approach is used to see the effects of each mode on input impedance of the antenna and is validated numerically by finite element method. The theoretical calculations for input impedance are in good agreement with full-wave simulation. The scattering and radiation parameters of the antenna are investigated. The antenna patch radius and height are 8 and 1 mm, respectively. The ferrite ring was made of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and the substrate of antenna is Rogers RT5880. In the first band the antenna has 7 dB gain and the ratio of Copol/Xpol is about 24 dB and in the second band has 5 dB gain and the XPD, i.e., the ratio of Copol to Xpol is about 20 dB.
