摘要

A wideband circularly polarized antenna with Gamma-shaped feed is presented. The proposed antenna is formed by two shorted bowtie patch antennas and two L-shaped electric dipoles. It can achieve a measured impedance bandwidth for voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) <= 1.5 of 52% and a 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 55%. For the entire half-power beamwidth, the axial ratio can be kept below 3 dB. A prototype has been fabricated and tested, and the experimental results validate the design procedure.
