Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 139, 79-86, 2024
Abstract
A high gain, circularly polarized array antenna is proposed with low profile and compact size using T-shaped top loading, t-matching, and a reflector. Composed of 4 individual elements, the array has a -3-dB impedance bandwidth of 1.39% (1.564-1.586 GHz) and a 3-dB axial ratio beamwidth of 79° (-42°-37°) in measurement. The front-to-side ratio of the total realized gain pattern is 27.1 dB and the front-to-back ratio is 25.5 dB. The peak realized gain is 11.0 dBi in the forward (+z) direction. The proposed antenna is a good candidate for functioning as an anti-jam antenna in global positioning system, helping to block out jamming signals coming from the horizontal (90° and 270°) planes.
