Abstract
A dual-sense circularly polarized (CP) array antenna with dipole elements is introduced in this study. The metallic elements, shaped like parentheses, mounted on the printed dipole, excite two CP modes with different polarizations by rotating at +45˚ and −45˚. Consequently, switchable polarizations of the antenna are available in the left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) and right-hand circular polarization (RHCP). According to the measured results, the proposed 4-element CP array antenna has impedance bandwidth with CP performance exceeding 20 % (11.83–14.47 GHz) and a peak gain of 14.55 dBic. The designed CP antenna has a low-profile with a compact dimension of 5.05λ × 1.51λ × 0.28λ which is suitable for satellite applications at Ku-band. This method is innovative, offering lower complexity and better results compared to conventional approaches.

AEÜ is an international scientific journal which publishes both original works and invited tutorials. The journal''s scope covers all aspects of theory and design of circuits, systems and devices for electronics, signal processing, and communication, including:
signal and system theory, digital signal processing
network theory and circuit design
information theory, communication theory and techniques, modulation, source and channel coding
switching theory and techniques, communication protocols
optical communications
microwave theory and techniques, radar, sonar
antennas, wave propagation
AEÜ publishes full papers and letters with very short turn around time but a high standard review process. Review cycles are typically finished within twelve weeks by application of modern electronic communication facilities.
