Simple, low-profile, circularly polarized arrays
Abstract
A low-profile, circularly polarized antenna can be made using an annular sector of strip conductor parallel to a closely spaced ground plane. This antenna has a very wide impedance bandwidth and is particularly well suited for use in series-fed arrays. Control of the excitation coefficients can be accomplished by a simple variation in the geometry of each element. Interconnection of the elements has been realized both in coaxial cable and in microstrip. Axial ratios less than 1 dB in the broadside direction are easily obtainable.
