A wide bandwidth circularly polarized microstrip antenna array using sequentially rotated feeding technique

A wide bandwidth circularly polarized microstrip antenna array using sequentially rotated feeding technique is presented in this paper. First a stacked microstrip antenna with tuning stub is designed, which meets wide bandwidth application. Then sequentially rotated feeding technique is introduced, basing on which a 4 element stacked microstrip antenna array with preferable axial ratio performance is achieved. The corresponding antenna array is fabricated and measured, the results of which shows that the antenna has the advantages of wide bandwidth, high gain and low axial radio, which has good application foreground.
