摘要
In this letter, we propose a novel feed network for circular polarization (CP) diversity antennas to enhance communications performances. The previous CP diversity systems adopted dual polarization diversity using right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) and left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) within a small space. However, the same rotational CPs need further antenna distance. To overcome the space limitation for the same CP diversity antenna, we propose a feed network for CP antenna using conventional CP with orthogonal polarization radiation characteristics of a linear polarization (LP) diversity system without additional antennas. The port isolation characteristics and impedance matching conditions are numerically verified for the diversity system and antenna characteristics. The proposed feed network with CP patch antennas is fabricated and measured in a reverberation chamber for diversity performances, and their validity is verified.
