Analysis performance of singly-fed circularly polarized microstrip antenna for wireless communication

The circularly polarized (CP) microstrip antennas, both of singly- and doubly-fed types,
possess inherent limitation in gain, impedance and axial-ratio bandwidths. These limitations
are caused mainly by the natural resonance of the patch antenna which has a high
unloaded Q-factor and the frequency-dependent excitation of two degenerative modes
(TM01 and TM10) when using a single feed. Many applications which require circular
polarization, large bandwidth, and good performance, especially in the field of wireless
communication, are still difficult to be designed by using antenna software. Some
consideration to take will include the application target and design specification, the
materials to be used, and the method to choose (formula, numerical analysis, etc). This
paper explains and analyzes the singly-fed microstrip antenna with circular polarization
and large bandwidth. This singly-fed type of microstrip antenna provides certain
advantage of requiring no external circular polarizer, e.g. the 900 hybrid, as it only needs to
apply some perturbation or modification to a patch radiator with a standard geometry.
The design of CP and large-bandwidth microstrip antenna is done gradually, by firstly
truncating one tip, then truncating the whole three tips, and finally modifying it into a
pentagonal patch structure and adding an air-gap to obtain larger bandwidths of
impedance, gain and axial ratio. The last one antenna structure results in a novelty
because it is a rare design of antenna which includes all types of bandwidth (impedance,
gain, and axial ratio) being simultaneously larger than the origin antenna. The resulted
characteristic performance of the 1-tip (one-tip) antenna shows respectively 1.9% of
impedance bandwidth, 3.1% of gain bandwidth, and 0.45% of axial-ratio bandwidth. For
the 3-tip (three-tip) step, the resulted bandwidths of respectively impedance, gain, and
axial ratio are 1.7%, 3.3% and 0.5%. The pentagonal structure resulted in the bandwith
values of 15.67%, 52.16% and 4.11% respectively for impedance, gain, and axial ratio.
