Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel modified comb-line antenna of circular polarization. The antenna is composed of the comb line and loop radiation elements. It should be noted that the comb line acts as a feed line for the loop elements. The antenna is designed for CP radiation on the basis of the current distribution determined by using the method of moments.
