A circularly polarized stacked patch microstrip antenna and a 2?×?2 subarray for circular polarization are proposed in this paper. The proposed design has the input impedance bandwidth and axial ratio bandwidth of about 10% and 4.7% respectively. Circular polarization is obtained with the help of slits cut in the patch. A size reduction of around 37% is also achieved with the help of the slits. A subarray based on sequentially rotated feeding technique for circular polarization is also presented in this paper. Array element was deigned using a high dielectric constant laminate for feed network. In addition to low boresight axial-ratio, the subarray has impedance and 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidths of 12% and 8% respectively.

A Circuit-Theoretic Approach to the Design of Quadruple-Mode Broadband Microstrip Patch Antennas

A novel method for the design of broadband patch antennas is described. The approach taken is to broadside couple two dual-mode patch antennas, resulting in a quad resonance antenna. The equivalent circuit of the antenna is similar to that of microwave filters, thus filter design techniques maybe employed to synthesize the antenna to obtain maximum return-loss bandwidth. This is the first time an increase in the bandwidth is achieved on a relatively thin substrate antenna as a result of coupling four resonant modes using two stacked circular microstrip patches. Electromagnetic simulation and measured results demonstrate bandwidth improvement of over four times that of a single-mode design.

Stacked patches using high and low dielectric constant materialcombinations

In this paper, the performance of stacked patches incorporating a high and low dielectric constant material combination is presented. Such a printed antenna is applicable for cases where photonic and microwave devices need to be directly integrated with the antenna. It is shown that 10-dB return-loss bandwidths in excess of 25% can be achieved with such a configuration. Importantly, the surface wave efficiency across this band of frequencies is high-greater than 85%. It is also shown that these stacked patches have lower cross-polarization levels compared to a conventional stacked patch and, thus, are very suited to circular polarization applications. Two circular polarization (CP) configurations are presented and experimentally verified. The single- and dual-feed configurations have 3-dB axial ratio bandwidths of 18% and 32%, respectively

A small microstrip patch antenna with a convenient tuning option

The paper addresses two aspects of resonant microstrip patch antennas, namely, miniaturization and resonant frequency tuning. First, a patch geometry which allows a controllable size reduction over a limited range is presented. The basic shape is circular with slits cut into it. Modification of the slit geometry leads to both linear as well as circular polarized (CP) operation. Second, the use of another patch of a specific shape as a superstrate layer in a stacked configuration allows tuning over a relatively large frequency range as compared to the patch bandwidth. Tuning is accomplished by a simple rotation of the superstrate layer. The use of another superstrate layer allows tunable CP operation. Details on the antenna characteristics have been worked out for two examples, and computations have been compared with measurements where possible. Some design guidelines have also been included
