Abstract
Circularly polarized (CP) microstrip annular sector patch antennas (MASPAs) with adjustable 3 dB axial ratio beamwidth (ARBW) under resonance of nondegenerate modes are proposed. Within an annular sector patch radiator with both inner and outer circumferences to be short-circuited, the odd-symmetric, circumferentially resonant TMπ/α,1 mode and the even-symmetric, radially resonant TM01 mode are simultaneously excited to yield dual-mode resonant MASPAs without additional perturbations in an asymmetrically fed manner. The equal amplitude and self-phase-shift conditions for circularly polarized operation are theoretically deduced and employed to design different dual-mode resonant MASPAs on air substrate for validations. The squint CP angle θt and adjustable ARBW are distinctive to conventional microstrip patch antennas under resonance of a pair of degenerate modes. In this sense, the fabricated MASPA successfully exhibits 3 dB AR bandwidths of 4.5% and maximum 3 dB ARBW of 110°, while keeping the simplest single-layer, single-fed configuration without incorporating additional perturbed stubs, slits or pins.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
