Abstract

In this letter, a wideband compact circularly polarized (CP) patch antenna is proposed. This patch antenna consists of a printed meandering probe (M-probe) and truncated patches that excite orthogonal resonant modes to generate a wideband CP operation. The stacked patch is employed to further improve the axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth to fit the 5G Wi-Fi application. The proposed antenna achieves 42.3% impedance bandwidth and 16.8% AR bandwidth, respectively. The average gain within the AR bandwidth is 6.6 dBic with less than 0.5 dB variation. This work demonstrates a bandwidth broadening technique of an M-probe fed CP patch antenna. It is the first study to investigate and exhibit the M-probe could also provide the wideband characteristics in the dielectric loaded patch antenna. The potential applications of the antenna are 5G Wi-Fi and satellite communication systems.
