Circular Slot Antennas Using L-Shaped Probe for Broadband Circular Polarization

Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 18, 153-168, 2011
Abstract
Novel circularly polarized antennas with a circular radiating aperture for broadband characteristics are presented in this paper. The vertical and horizontal components of the L-shaped probe are separated and placed at the front and back side of the substrate. The antennas are excited by a microstrip line which is connected to the vertical component of the L-shaped probe and electromagnetically couples the signal to the horizontal component of the L-shaped probe. A novel concept of placing stub in the slot of a planar antenna, by observing the electric field vector behaviour in the slot, is proposed to enhance the axial ratio (AR) bandwidth by around 10%. Unidirectional patterns can be obtained by having a cylindrical cavity of height λg/4 behind the antenna and is effective when no stubs are placed in the slot. A < 3 dB AR bandwidth of 39.5% with cavity and 41.18% without cavity but with stub in the slot is obtained in simulation and the results well match with the measurement.
