摘要
The design of a new microstrip-line-fed wideband circularly polarized (CP) annular-ring slot antenna (ARSA) is proposed. Compared with existing ring slot antennas, the ARSAs designed here possess much larger CP bandwidths. The main features of the proposed design include a wider ring slot, a pair of grounded hat-shaped patches, and a deformed bent feeding microstrip line. The ARSAs designed using FR4 substrates in the L and S bands have 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidths (ARBWs) of as large as 46% and 56%, respectively, whereas the one using an RT5880 substrate in the L band, 65%. In these 3-dB axial-ratio bands, impedance matching with VSWR <= 2 is also achieved.
