  • Abstract
    A traveling-wave circularly-polarized microstrip array antenna is presented in this paper. It uses a circularly polarized dual-feed radiating element. The element is a rectangular patch with two chamfered corners. It is fed by microstrip lines, making it possible for the radiating element and feed lines to be realized and integrated in a single layer. A four-element array is designed, built and tested. Measured performance of the antenna is presented, where a good agreement between the simulated and measured results is obtained and demonstrated.
