Abstract: | The authors present the design of a wideband circularly polarised antenna with switchable polarisation sense. The basic antenna is a circularly polarised aperture coupled patch antenna with a slot excitation located along the diagonal of a rectangular patch. A second slot is added along the other diagonal and beam-lead pin diodes are inserted in both slots to allow a dual sense operation for a compact structure in a 4% CP bandwidth |
