Broadband Circularly Polarized Slot Antenna Array Using a Compact Sequential-Phase Feeding Network

چکیده
A broadband circularly polarized (CP) slot antenna array fed by an asymmetric coplanar waveguide (CPW) with stepped and inverted T-shaped strips is proposed. Using four square slot antenna elements with sequential rotation oblique feed and a modified sequential-phase (SP) feeding network, broadband CP can be achieved. The measured −10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidth and 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth are 55.4% (1.63–2.88 GHz) and 58% (1.65–3GHz), respectively. Good radiation characteristics with gain more than 6 dBic over the operating band are obtained by the proposed antenna array with a compact size of 155 × 155 × 0.8 mm3. Details of the proposed antenna array design and experimental results are presented and discussed.
