Abstract
This paper presents two novel types of singly-fed circularly polarised microstrip radiating elements that use multilayer substrates. The antenna elements are designed to operate in S-band with a centre frequency of 2.45 GHz. The measured impedance bandwidths (VSWR⩽2) are 23% and 14% while the computed 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidths are 7% and 2% respectively. Important radiation characteristics such as gain bandwidth, cross polarisation and front-to-back ratio of these elements have also been examined and compared
