Abstract :
The paper reports recent improvements in the performance of printed circularly-polarized terminal antennas. These advances include the miniaturization of printed circularly-polarized geometries, simplification of geometries which provide dual circular-polarization, widening of the axial-ratio bandwidth, as well as increasing the axial-ratio beamwidth.
