摘要
This article presents a novel design of circularly polarised microstrip antenna based on a metamaterial reflection plane and a half-wave antenna. The metamaterial is composed of two pieces of substrates coated on one side with split ring resonators. Both the experimental and simulated results show that good circularly polarised radiation performances are obtained. The 10dB return-loss impedance bandwidth and 3dB axial ratio bandwidth of proposed antenna are 12% and 7%, respectively, and the gain of proposed antenna compared with the half-wave antenna is improved from 6dB to 9dB in the design frequency range.
