Circularly polarized compact microstrip antenna

A compact microstrip antenna with circular polarization radiation is demonstrated. A reduction in the required parameters for achieving CP radiation makes the present antenna design simpler. This configuration provides an area reduction of 42% compared to a standard rectangular patch antenna at the...

Description
Summary:A compact microstrip antenna with circular polarization radiation is demonstrated. A reduction in the required parameters for achieving CP radiation makes the present antenna design simpler. This configuration provides an area reduction of 42% compared to a standard rectangular patch antenna at the same frequency, and a 3 dB CP bandwidth of ∼1% has been obtained. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
