Abstract :
This paper deals with the design, fabrication and measurement of a dual-band circularly-polarized stacked microstrip antenna for Galileo (E5a, E5b, E2 and E1 bands) and GPS (L2 band). A feeding network composed of three Wilkinson power combiners is used to generate the required circular polarization.
