Abstract
A new design of a circularly polarized single-layer antenna which has a compact structure of 10mm×20mm×1mm is presented. The proposed antenna only consists of a feedline and a rectangular ground plane both printed on the same metallic layer. To compact the antenna size and overcome the high impedance problem, the circular polarization (CP) operation can be attained by locating the feedline at the left of the ground plane. Parameters such as substrate length and patch length are investigated and design results from parametric simulations are presented.
