摘要：
This letter presents a broadband circularly polarized (CP) crossed dipole antenna with wide axial ratio (AR) beamwidth. The antenna consists of a crossed dipole fed by two baluns, a wideband feed network and a cylindrical metallic cavity. To broaden the beamwidth, circular arms are introduced. Meanwhile, the metallic cavity is utilized to broaden the AR beamwidth. Measurements show that the antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 70.6% (1.87-3.91 GHz) for voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) <= 2 and a 3-dB AR bandwidth of 62.4% (1.92-3.66 GHz). In addition, the 3-dB AR beamwidth of the antenna is larger than 100 degrees, and the gain varies from 4 dBic to 6 dBic over the whole CP operation bandwidth. Owing to the high-gain and wideband operation, the proposed CP antenna is potentially capable for satellite applications and high-gain applications.
