Abstract :
The sequentially rotated array has good circular polarization in spite of the use of elliptical polarization elements and low VSWR over a wide frequency band. So far, sequentially rotated arrays consisting of fundamental mode elements (for example, TM/sub 11/ circular patch antenna) have been reported. This paper proposes a method of designing sequentially rotated arrays consisting of higher order mode elements.
