Circularly Polarized Cross-Helix Antenna With Quasi-Hemispherical 3 dB Axial Ratio Coverage
This letter presents a circularly polarized (CP) antenna based on cross-helix with a wide 3 dB axial ratio (AR) coverage. First, a twin-helix is utilized to attain a symmetrically omnidirectional radiation pattern with circular polarization while maintaining a compact size. Then, by employing cross-arranged helices and a 90° hybrid coupler, a Huygens source with a wide CP radiation beam is realized. Additionally, a balun based on coaxial-wire and a λ/4 conductor strip is utilized to provide the differential feed signal. Simulation results reveal that the proposed antenna achieves a −10 dB bandwidth from 2.35 GHz to 2.46 GHz. A very wide 3 dB AR beamwidth with ±90° in the two principal planes and at least ±75° in other cut-planes in the hemispherical space is obtained. The proposed antenna is fabricated and tested, and measured results are in good agreement with the simulated ones. Characterized by the wide 3 dB AR spatial coverage, the proposed antenna exhibits great potential in wireless communication applications.
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.
