Abstract
A circular polarised (CP) microstrip antenna loaded with sunflower-shaped metasurface (SSM) to enhance the bandwidth using characteristic mode analysis is proposed in this communication. The SSM, divided into inner and outer parts by a ring, consists of equally spaced sectors of equal angles. In this design, the coupled corner-truncated microstrip antenna with a slot in the centre is employed to obtain CP radiation by exciting two orthogonal modes, which have a 90° phase difference. Meanwhile, it demonstrates that the SSM structure significantly expands the operational bandwidth and exhibits a stable radiation pattern at high frequencies. Simulation and measurement results confirm that this SSM antenna achieves a wide operating bandwidth of 64.3% (4.5–8.76 GHz) and a 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 30.6% (4.7–6.4 GHz), while maintaining a compact profile of 0.68 × 0.68 × 0 0.08 λ03.
