In this work circularly polarized flat reflectarray antennas are designed to work at downlink frequencies in Ku- and Ka-band. The design approach for circular polarization radiation combines both the variable rotation technique (VRT) and the element size variation technique (ESVT). The reflectarray element employed consists of a rotable split ring operating at 12 GHz (Ku-band) that surrounds two orthogonal sets of parallel dipoles of variable size operating at 20 GHz (Ka-band). Rotations of split rings and different sizes of dipoles are exploited as degrees of freedom by VRT and ESVT for designing focused beams dual band dual circular polarized reflectarrays. The split ring can be used to achieve single focused beams for circular polarization by VRT at 12 GHz, and the set of orthogonal dipoles can be used to achieve two focused beams for dual circular polarization by ESVT at 20 GHz. In this way, the reflectarray element has been used to design two flat dual band circularly polarized reflectarrays that generate three pencil beams either in the same direction or in different directions: one pencil beam with right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) at 12 GHz and two pencil beams with both RHCP and left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) at 20 GHz. The designed reflectarrays are carried out under local periodicity assumption by means of in-house electromagnetic software that applies the Method of Moments in the Spectral Domain. Validations of the in-house electromagnetic software show significant CPU time savings with respect to CPU time consumption provided by commercial software of general purpose as CST electromagnetics software. Numerical results of radiation patterns produced by the designed reflectarrays show efficiencies around 65% and a bandwidth of 6% for a main beam cross-polarization discrimination of 25 dB. The numerical results are satisfactorily validated by CST software and a tolerance errors study has been numerically carried out with acceptable results.

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.

This paper presents a rectangular-shaped printed monopole antenna with circular polarization for Wi-Fi (2.4–2.484 GHz) and WiMAX (3.3-3.7 GHz) bands. The antenna relies on asymmetric arrangement of the patch with respect to the microstrip feed, in order to generate circular polarization. Dual-band (Wi-Fi and WiMAX) operation is enabled by inserting a slit in the corner of the ground plane. Simulation results show a bandwidth increase of 15.9% (2.2–2.58 GHz) for Wi-Fi, and of 24.16% (3.13–3.99 GHz) for WiMAX applications. Furthermore, beamwidths at the axial ratio of 3 dB equal 48˚ and 51˚ for the x-z plane and y-z planes, respectively.

Measured Efficiency

A dual-mode circular polarization selective surface (CPSS) cell based on a modification of the Pierrot cell is presented for single-layer dual-band circularly polarized (CP) reflectarray antenna design. To achieve dual-mode CP discrimination performance, the improved three-dimensional geometry and the high-order resonances of the CPSS cell are utilized. The required phase shifts in both modes are obtained by varying the cell rotation angle. A single-layer dual-band reflectarray operating with orthogonal CPs has been fabricated and tested. Measured results show the peak gains of 25.2 dBi at 11.6 GHz with 31% 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth and 26.5 dBi at 14.6 GHz with 32% 3 dB AR bandwidth, respectively. The measured efficiency is 41.2% at 11.6 GHz and 55.5% at 14.6 GHz.

A compact multiband circularly polarized slot antenna is proposed here. An F-shaped microstrip feedline is used to excite the square slot antenna loaded with a U-shaped strip and a split ring resonator (SRR) to generate three circularly polarized bands at 1.5 GHz, 2.75 GHz and 3.16 GHz. A meandered slot is used in the feedline and the U-strip to improve the axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW). The meandered feedline excites the slot to produce resonance at 2.5 GHz. This resonance along with that of the F-shaped feed, loaded SRR and U-strip combine to give rise to three circularly polarized bands which can be tuned depending on the feed, SRR and U-strip dimensions. The orientation of the F-shaped feed decides the sense of polarization of the three circularly polarized bands of the proposed antenna. The proposed antenna is fabricated on a substrate of FR4 material with dimensions 50 x 50 x 1.56 mm3. The antenna is prototyped and measured in terms of impedance bandwidth, ARBW, gain and efficiency. The simulated and measured results show reasonably good agreement.
