“…It can be seen from the table that the proposed antenna demonstrated outstanding performance in terms of overall size, AR bandwidth, and peak gain. Many interesting designs of CP antennas based on ME dipole structure have been reported [ 8 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The proposed antenna is the smallest among its competitors with comparable gain and CP bandwidth.…”

“…The proposed antenna is the smallest among its competitors with comparable gain and CP bandwidth. The antennas presented in [ 8 , 16 ] have smaller gain narrow bandwidth. The antennas presented in [ 17 , 18 , 19 ] have superiority in terms of bandwidth at the expense of larger antenna size, although, their gain performance is comparable with our proposed antenna.…”

“…In addition, circularly polarized (CP) antennas have been a unique choice for stable communication due to their resilience to multipath interference and polarization mismatching between receiving and transmitting antennas. These features make CP antennas the desirable candidate for numerous applications including satellite communication, radar communication, randomly oriented RFID (radio frequency identification) tags, GPS (global positioning system), and sensors [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Therefore, the design of CP antennas has always been a hot topic for antenna designers, compared with linear polarized (LP) antennas.…”

“…In the course of designing ME dipole antennas [ 12 , 13 ], less attention has been paid to CP ME dipole based antennas. In the past few years, some CP antennas based on ME dipole structures have been reported [ 8 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. In [ 14 ], an ME dipole structure was reported to use a pair of bowtie patch antennas and a pair of trapezoidal-shaped dipoles fed by a Wilkinson power divider to achieve a 3 dB AR bandwidth of 33%.…”

In this paper, a wideband circularly polarized (CP) magnetoelectric (ME) dipole antenna operating at 28 GHz band was proposed for 5G millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communications. The antenna geometry included two metallic plates with extended hook-shaped strips at its principal diagonal position, and two corners of truncated metallic plates at the secondary diagonal position. The pair of metallic vias connected the modified strips to the ground plane to create the magnetic dipole. The L-shaped probe feed between the strips was used to excite the antenna. The antenna showed stable gain and wideband characteristics. The simulated and measured results showed that the proposed CP ME dipole antenna had an overlapping (|S11|< −10 dB impedance and 3 dB axial ratio) bandwidth of 18.1% (25–30 GHz), covering the frequency bands dedicated for 5G new radio communications. Moreover, an average gain of 8 dBic was achieved by the antenna throughout the operating bandwidth. The measured data verified the design concept, and the proposed antenna had a small footprint of 0.83 λo × 0.83 λo × 0.125 λo (λo is free space wavelength at the lowest operating frequency), suitable for its application in 5G smart devices and sensors.

A short‐circuit load broadband circularly polarized (CP) magnetoelectric (ME) dipole antenna is proposed for WiMAX, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The co‐directional electric dipole and magnetic dipole work together to radiate CP electromagnetic waves. The magnetic dipole is realized by a pair of vertical grounded metal patches and the electric dipole is accomplished by a pair of rotationally symmetric horizontal metal patches. The outer edges of the horizontal patches are extended to bend downward and shorted to ground for low‐profile, miniaturization, and axial ratio (AR) bandwidth enhancement. A pair of knife‐shaped horizontal patches effectively enhances the AR bandwidth of the proposed antenna. A prototype is fabricated, and the measured results show that the proposed antenna achieves 67.2% (1.7‐3.42 GHz) 3‐dB AR bandwidth and 87.5% (1.33‐3.4 GHz) impedance bandwidth for |S11| ≤ 10 with a small size of 0.8λL × 0.386λL × 0.177λL (λL denotes to the maximum operation frequency). Over the entire AR frequency band, stable radiation pattern is obtained. Furthermore, the maximum boresight gain is up to 10.4 dBic at 2.4GHz, and the boresight gain is greater than 4.2 dBic over 3‐dB AR band.

In this article, we proposed a novel circularly polarized magnetoelectric (ME) dipole antenna with low profile, which is excited by substrate integrated waveguide aperture‐coupled feeding structure with a butterfly‐shaped slot. The ME dipole antenna is formed of a couple of oblong metallic patches with square corner cutting off and elliptic perturbation acting as electric dipole, and two couples of vertical metalized via holes working as magnetic dipole. The profile of the antenna is 0.122λ0. The antenna achieves a fractional bandwidth of 32.6% for |S11| smaller than −10 dB from 22.6 to 31.3 GHz and the 3‐dB axial‐ratio bandwidth (BW) of 12.8% from 22.6 to 25.7 GHz. Moreover, the gain is maintained over 6 dB for a large portion of the operational BW. The measured boresight gain is 7.8 dB.
