A Broadband Suspended Microstrip Antenna for Circular Polarization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a circularly polarized (CP) microstrip antenna on a suspended substrate with a coplanar capacitive feed and a slot within the rectangular patch. The antenna has an axial ratio bandwidth (< 3 dB) of 7.1%. The proposed antenna exhibits a much higher impedance bandwidth of about 49% (S11 < −10 dB) and also yields return loss better than −15 dB in the useful range of circular polarization. Measured characteristics of the antenna are in good agreement with the simulated results. The radiation patterns indicate good cross polarization rejection and low back lobe radiations. The design proposed here can be scaled to any frequency of interest.

Suspended Hexagonal Microstrip Antennas for Circular Polarization
Suspended hexagonal microstrip antenna with a single coaxial feed has been proposed for circular polarization. The configuration has been realized by inserting perturbations along two opposite sides of the suspended hexagonal microstrip antenna. The broad bandwidth of 70 MHz has been obtained corresponding to VSWR < 2 and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 16.2 MHz has been achieved for the suspende...

A new broadband and dual band circular slot cut modified circular microstrip antenna is analyzed and proposed. The parametric study to analyze the effects of circular slot which realizes broader bandwidth is presented. The circular slot creates two additional resonant modes near the fundamental TM11 mode resonance frequency of the equivalent circular patch and yields bandwidth of 202 MHz (8%). ...

The broadband microstrip antenna is realized by fabricating the patch on lower dielectric constant thicker substrate in conjunction with proximity feeding technique. Using thicker substrates, a formulation for an edge extension length and design guidelines for strip dimensions in proximity fed broadband antennas, are not available. In this paper, first by designing suspended rectangular and cir...
