A Wideband Twin-diamond-shaped Circularly Polarized Patch Antenna with Gap-coupled Feed
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel twin-diamond-shaped antenna is presented for wideband circularly polarized (CP) radiation. By introducing a twin-diamond-shaped patch and a gap-coupled feed structure, a lefthanded circularly polarized (LHCP) antenna in bore-sight direction is obtained. The gap-coupled feed structure consists of a horizontal microstrip arm of approximately 0.285λ0 at the centre frequency and two small diamonds, which greatly contributes to wideband characteristics. The experimental bandwidths of 10-dB return loss and 3-dB axial ratio (AR) for the antenna prototype are about 20% and 9.2%, respectively. The measured gain is more than 6.8 dBi over the entire bandwidth.
