Abstract
This paper presents a dual feed Circularly Polarized Compact Wideband Microstrip Patch Antenna for Launch Vehicle Telemetry Applications in S Band. The proposed dual polarized antenna employs a stripline quadrature hybrid coupler and has a 10dB impedance bandwidth of 930MHz (37%) from 2.08GHz to 3.00GHz while the 3dB axial Ratio bandwidth is 540MHz (22%) from 2.13GHz to 2.67GHz. The antenna has a maximum gain of 7.00dBi with 0.5dBi variation over the 3dB axial ratio bandwidth. The quadrature hybrid based design of the antenna using RT/Duroid 6002 substrate allows its use as either RHCP antenna or LHCP antenna.
