Abstract :
Analysis and designs are presented of a single feed circularly polarized microstrip antenna for Global Positioning System (GPS) application. The resonant frequencies, axial ratios, and radiation patterns are measured. Here, the use of a nearly square patch proves that a successful circular polarized antenna can be developed
