Abstract

The proposed work deals with the design of a planar right handed circularly polarized (RHCP) radiating element. The entire structure is membrane-supported and is constituted by four folded-slot antennas. A feeding network is designed in coplanar waveguide technology (CPW). The structure is very compact with a surface close to 3λ².
