Gain and axial ratio bandwidth enhancement of circularly polarised antenna using PRMS
This article presents a 9 × 9 partially reflective metasurface (PRMS) array used to form a Fabry-Perot cavity (FPC) to enhance gain and enhance 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of the wideband circularly polarised (CP) antenna. The bottom side of the PRMS unit cell produces high reflectivity, while the top side yields positive phase gradience. The CP feeder resonates from 10.26 GHz to 12.19 GHz, and AR < 3 dB is from 10.84 GHz to 11.63 GHz and elliptical polarisation (EP) is observed at 10 GHz and 12 GHz. Which is leveraged in the FPC configuration to convert EP into CP waves, thus enhancing ARBW. The proposed FPC antenna resonates from 9.9 GHz to 12.31 GHz and has enhanced ARBW below 3 dB from 9.9 GHz to 12.21 GHz. The enhanced ARBW of 2.31 GHz overlaps 2.41 GHz of impedance BW. The maximum enhanced gain at 10 GHz is 17.1 dBi from 7.3 dBi. The proposed antenna is right-hand circularly polarised (RHCP), and the total profile is 2.6 λ0 × 2.6 λ0 × 0.52 λ0 only (where λ0 is free space wavelength at 9.9 GHz), which can be installed on 1U-Cube Sat.
