Abstract

A small size circularly polarized (CP) microstrip patch antenna is presented. The proposed single-fed circularly polarized design is achieved by adding eight U-shaped tails at the patch edges. Five rectangular-shaped slots and four L-shaped slots are also inserted inside the patch. The patch antenna is a one-layer structure. It is designed to achieve a reduction in size as compared to standard printed antennas. In this way, our design induces the projection area of the antenna to be reduced by 75% in comparison with a conventional small patch antenna. Details of the design of this circularly polarized patch antenna are described. Experimental results of its performances are presented and discussed.
