Abstract EN

A small-size 2×2 broadband circularly polarized microstrip antenna array is proposed in this article.

The array has four broadband dual-feed U-slot patch antenna elements with circular polarization, and the sequential feeding technique is used to further enhance the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth.

The lateral size of the fabricated array is as small as 1.33λ0×1.33λ0, and the profile is only 0.04λ0.

Measured results show that the overlapped −10 dB reflection coefficient and the 3 dB AR bandwidth is 53%, and the variation of the measured realized gain is less than 1 dB for S-band satellite communications (1.98–2.2 GHz).
