CPW-fed broadband circularly polarised square slot antenna

Abstract

A novel CPW-fed broadband circularly polarised square slot antenna is proposed and fabricated. The proposed antenna is fed by a CPW with a widened L-type strip along the diagonal line of the square slot. Measured results show that the 3 dB axial-ratio bandwidth of the proposed antenna can reach 17%. The proposed antenna has simple coplanar geometry which can be easily fabricated on inexpensive substrate.
