A compact single-feed circularly polarized microstrip antenna is proposed to achieve symmetric radiation pattern over a wide range of observation angles. In order to reduce the radiation aperture and consequently broaden the circular polarization (CP) and the half power beamwidth (HPBW) of the antenna, a partially etched superstrate and a conducting cavity are employed in the design. Further, reasonable axial ratio (AR) and impedance bandwidths are realized within the compact structure by using a simple series crossed-slot aperture coupled feeding. As a consequence, the overall dimension of the fabricated prototype is 0.32λ0× 0.32λ0× 0.12λ0at the center operating frequency of 1.56 GHz, and a 3.0% overlapped bandwidth of 10 dB return loss (RL) and 3 dB AR is obtained. Within the bandwidth, symmetric CP radiation pattern over almost the entire upper hemisphere is observed and the HPBW is also increased from 60° to 106°.

A novel high-performance circularly polarized (CP) antenna is proposed in this paper. Two separate antennas featuring the global positioning system (GPS) dual-band operation (1.575 GHz and 1.227 GHz for L1 band and L2 band, resp.) are integrated with good isolation. To enhance the gain at low angle, a new structure of patch and two parasitic metal elements are introduced. With the optimized design, good axial ratio and near-hemispherical radiation pattern are obtained.

Doubly Fed

The circularly polarized (CP) microstrip antennas, both of singly- and doubly-fed types, possess inherent limitation in gain, impedance and axial-ratio bandwidths. These limitations are caused mainly by the natural resonance of the patch antenna which has a high unloaded Q-factor and the frequency-dependent excitation of two degenerative modes (TM01 and TM10) when using a single feed. Many applications which require circular polarization, large bandwidth, and good performance, especially in the field of wireless communication, are still difficult to be designed by using antenna software. Some consideration to take will include the application target and design specification, the materials to be used, and the method to choose (formula, numerical analysis, etc). This paper explains and analyzes the singly-fed microstrip antenna with circular polarization and large bandwidth. This singly-fed type of microstrip antenna provides certain advantage of requiring no external circular polarizer, e.g. the 900 hybrid, as it only needs to apply some perturbation or modification to a patch radiator with a standard geometry. The design of CP and large-bandwidth microstrip antenna is done gradually, by firstly truncating one tip, then truncating the whole three tips, and finally modifying it into a pentagonal patch structure and adding an air-gap to obtain larger bandwidths of impedance, gain and axial ratio. The last one antenna structure results in a novelty because it is a rare design of antenna which includes all types of bandwidth (impedance, gain, and axial ratio) being simultaneously larger than the origin antenna. The resulted characteristic performance of the 1-tip (one-tip) antenna shows respectively 1.9% of impedance bandwidth, 3.1% of gain bandwidth, and 0.45% of axial-ratio bandwidth. For the 3-tip (three-tip) step, the resulted bandwidths of respectively impedance, gain, and axial ratio are 1.7%, 3.3% and 0.5%. The pentagonal structure resulted in the bandwith values of 15.67%, 52.16% and 4.11% respectively for impedance, gain, and axial ratio.

Circularly Polarized

The design and measurement of reconfigurable circularly polarized capacitive fed microstrip antenna are presented. Small isosceles right angle triangular sections are removed from diagonally opposite corners for the generation of circular polarization (CP) of axial ratio bandwidth of 11.1%. Horizontal slits of different lengths are inserted at the edges of the truncated patch to provide the dual-band CP and by switching PIN diodes across the slits ON and OFF, reconfigurable circularly polarized antenna is realized. The antenna shows dual-band behavior with reconfigurable CP. In order to enhance the operation bandwidth of the antenna, an inclined slot was embedded on the patch along with PIN diodes across the horizontal slits. This proposed antenna gave an impedance bandwidth of 66.61% (ON state) ranging from 4.42 to 8.80 GHz and 68.42% (OFF state) ranging from 4.12 to 8.91 GHz and exhibits dual-frequency CP with PIN diode in OFF state and single-frequency CP with PIN diode in ON state with good axial ratio bandwidth. The axial ratio bandwidth of 4.42, 2.35, and 2.72% is obtained from the antenna. The antenna has a similar radiation pattern in all the three different CP bands and almost constant gain within the bands of CP operation.

Microstrip antenna with circular polarization can be applied for many applications. Some microstrip antenna with square, circular, triangular, and hexagonal shape has been designed to get return loss, axial ratio, and radiation performance. We compare twelve microstrip antenna by maintaining its substrate dimension, feeding shape, and outer patch dimension. Even though antenna has a circular patch, it doesn’t always produce circular polarization. From the simulation, we found that with add some structure, the antenna can reach multiband resonance from 1 to 6 GHz. The Circular patch antenna reached seven numbers of the multiband resonance frequency. The hexagonal patch antenna reaches the highest directivity as 9.53 dBi. The circular polarization is achieved for a square and Hexagonal patch shape with axial ratio value is 1.96 dB at 4 GHz and  1.26 dB at 4.1 GHz sequentially at phi 900 and theta 900.

Microstrip Antenna Array

A missile-borne conformal dual-fed circular polarized microstrip antenna array is designed and fabricated, which realized omnidirectional radiation in horizontal direction. Frequencies of the antenna include GPS L1 frequency (1.575GHz) and Beidou navigation system B1 frequency (1.562GHz). Based on the HFSS simulation, the influence of conformation is analyzed on S11, axial ratio and gain of antenna array. The size of microstrip patches is changed so that the influence of conformation on antenna can be reduced. The circular polarization performance and the circular polarization gain of the antenna are also improved. The antenna array prototype is fabricated and measured. The result shows that the S11 parameter of the antenna is less than -10dB in the 1.55~1.60GHz frequency band. At the GPS L1 frequency and the Beidou B1 frequency, the maximum of horizontal omnidirectional gain is 1.73dB, 1.25dB respectively. The out-of-roundness of the radiation pattern is less than 2.5dB. The antenna has a good horizontal omnidirectional circular polarization radiation performance.

A novel circular polarization (CP) reconfigurable microstrip antenna is presented. The CP reconfigurable antenna is divided into three layers, composed of an annular radiating patch, ring slot, and reconfigurable orthogonal network (RON). The designed antenna is fed by dual vertical branches at the output port of the RON. By adjusting the bias voltage of the PIN switch loaded on the reconfigurable orthogonal network, the output phase can be changed, which means that the polarization direction of CP antenna is switchable. Simulation results show that the proposed feeding network provides constant phase difference and lower insertion loss for both states in the operating frequency band, thereby achieving good match and axial ratio characteristics either LHCP or RHCP state. Measured results show that the proposed antenna exhibits operational bandwidth of 1.2% with axial ratio below 3 dB and return loss above 10 dB in both polarized states. Good agreement between simulated and measured results is obtained.

The axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW< 3 dB) of 2.2 GHz (from 6.2 GHz to 8.4 GHz) and the impedance bandwidth (S11<-10 dB) of 7.4 GHz (from 2.5 GHz to 9.9 GHz) is achieved by the proposed design. Moreover, the antenna achieves a stable radiation pattern and a gain of more than 2.8 dBi over the complete ARBW.
