A circularly polarized (CP) Microstrip Yagi array antenna (MSYA) is designed in order to achieve high front-to-back ratioR(F/B)and high gain over wide range in the forward radiation space. A Wilkinson power divider owning two output ways with the same magnitude and different phase is used to feed the antenna. Parametric studies are carried out to investigate the effects of some key geometrical sizes on the antenna’s performance. A prototype of the antenna is fabricated, and good agreement between the measured results and the numerical simulations is observed. The overlap bandwidth of VSWR ≤ 1.5 and AR ≤ 3 dB is about 11%. The steering angle (α) between the peak gain direction and the broadside can achieve 35°,R(F/B)reaches 19 dB, and the gain at the front point (G0) is only 4.3 dB lower than the maximum gain (Gm). The antenna has a wide beamwidth CP radiation pattern over wide spatial range including 0° ≤θ≤ 90° in vertical plane and −35° ≤φ≤ 55° in horizontal plane.

This paper depicts a wideband circularly polarized (CP) antenna for 5G devices. The antenna array has a 3D structure including four simple printed dipole elements with directional radiations, high gain, and high efficiency. It achieves a CP by using the sequential rotation (SR) feeding based on 90°-3dB hybrid couplers in the proposed feeding network. The antenna array bandwidth is wide, 26.7%, with an operating frequency band from 3.35 GHz to 4.35 GHz. The antenna achieves a high peak gain of 10.73 dBi and high efficiency of 93.75%. Besides, the antenna gain is stable over the operating bandwidth (BW). At the centre operating frequency of 3.75 GHz, the angle of circular polarization is 51°. The antenna is designed and fabricated on the Rogers 4003 C substrate. The measured S11 is well matching with the simulation results. With the above characteristics, the proposed antenna can be a suitable candidate for 5G devices.

Abstract A circularly polarized hollow dielectric resonator antenna (CPHDRA) is designed for X-band applications. Rectangular dielectric resonator (RDR) is used as a radiator element, fed by a quarter-wave transformer (QWT) feedline. By performance of the RDR antenna, an air cylindrical rod structure is extracted from RDR to enhance the gain and impedance bandwidth. Two parasitic strips are placed on the top of the RDR to achieve circular polarization with reported ≤ 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth for X-band applications. In this article, UWB antenna covers range from 2.74 to 10.4GHz by using asymmetrical defective ground structure (DGS). In near field of the dielectric resonator, three different radiating modes namely HE11δ, HE21δ, HE23δ, and HE32δ are at 4.4, 6, 8.8, and 9.9 GHz. For the generation of circular polarization (CP), two orthogonal modes are generated at 8.8 and 9.9 GHz as per XZ and YZ planes. It has reported 23.8 % (8 to 10.1 GHz) of 3-dB AR bandwidth. The simulated and measured impedance bandwidths are 118.46 % and 121.12 % along with a peak gain of 6.55 dB without the use of a metallic reflector. By using a metallic reflector suspended in the bottom side of the substrate with a distance of 13.1mm is reported along with the peak gain of 9.8 dBi.
