Abstract :
This paper proposes an antenna using an eight-branch folded strip with a circular parasitic patch on circular ground plane for SDARS applications. The proposed antenna is designed to cover the bandwidth of 2.332-2.345 GHz (SDARS frequency band). The simulation simulation results of the proposed antenna are well-suited for XM Radio SDARS specification. The conical-beam pattern with left-handed circular polarization is obtained by using an eight-branch folded strip feeding technique and a symmetrical antenna configuration.results of the proposed antenna are well-suited for XM Radio SDARS specification. The conical-beam pattern with left-handed circular polarization is obtained by using an eight-branch folded strip feeding technique and a symmetrical antenna configuration.
