A transparent robust quasi‐isotropic circularly polarized antenna for Cub‐Sat and outdoor wireless

Abstract

In this article, a highly robust antenna is proposed for omnidirectional circular polarized communications in harsh environments at 2.45 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical frequency band. Circular polarization is realized by utilizing a combination of two magnetic and electric dipoles. The proposed antenna is based on a transparent structure and covered by a quarter wavelength thick layer of plexiglass to achieve desired robustness and visible light transparency. Meanwhile, because of the high transparency of the glass, it can integrate with solar cells to simultaneously propagate signals and harvest energy. The average gain and bandwidth of the antenna are 1.7 dBic and 300 MHz, respectively. The antenna's axial ratio is achieved less than 3 dB within the bandwidth, showing circular polarization behavior. The proposed compact antenna is numerically and experimentally analyzed and the results have a great agreement. In another viewpoint, the structure delivers promising possibilities to improve the propagating and radiating properties, which bring in significant advantages for real‐world multifunctional applications.

“…The wireless systems revolution has generated a wave of innovative results that dramatically expand the availability of voice and data almost anywhere. While this change has significantly broadened the possibility for new and better wireless communication ends, it has proffered further considerations for antenna design concepts [1]. Control of specific absorption rate (SAR) is a crucial factor that should be equally considered alongside traditional antenna design parameters.…”
