Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a new technique, which is capable of yielding high quality circular polarization, with a feeding system that is particularly suitable for incorporating in multilayer microwave circuits. This type of circuit can be fabricated either in thick-film or LTCC, which are attractive because they can provide a combination of high-performance and low-cost fabrication.
