A broadband circularly polarized (CP) antenna with enhanced gain and low profile is proposed. Two identical dipoles with full wavelength are placed orthogonally to generate radiation waves with equal amplitude and orthogonal polarization. The arms of the dipoles are designed as stepped patches to enlarge the impedance matching bandwidth and axial ratio (AR) bandwidth. Crossed-dipoles with full wavelength are utilized as the main radiators to provide a wide operating bandwidth and enhanced gain, and an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) structure is introduced as the reflector to reduce the profile of the whole antenna. Due to the introduction of the AMC structure, the antenna profile is reduced from 12.8 to 6.9 mm, that is, reduced to 0.14λ0 (where λ0 denotes the wavelength corresponding to the center frequency of the passband, 4.0–8.5 GHz). A simulation and experiment were carried out to verify the performance of the proposed antenna. Experimental results showed that the antenna realized an impedance bandwidth of 74%, an AR bandwidth of 67.7%, a peak gain of 12.1 dBic, and an average gain of 10.69 dBic.
