Abstract

This paper presents a new wideband and circularly polarised (CP) slot antenna realised by using an L-shaped feed underneath the cross-slot antenna, and tapered to the conventional microstrip feed-line. The proposed antenna is fabricated with an area of 75 × 80 mm2. The simulated results showed that the antenna had an impedance matching bandwidth of 34% from 1.3 to 1.83 GHz, and an axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 20% from 1.36 to 1.66 GHz. A maximum gain value of 3.4 – 3.8 dBi has been achieved within the operating band. The proposed antenna is of a simple and single-substrate structure, suitable for the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) application. The impedance bandwidth and radiation patterns have been confirmed by measurement.
