Wideband circularly polarized cross‐dipole antenna with folded ground plane

Abstract

A wideband circularly polarized (CP) cross-dipole antenna with folded ground plane is presented. The antenna consists of an L-shaped stepped patch as driven elements and four rotated L-shaped metallic ground strips as parasitic elements. A sequential phase feeding structure is used to provide 90°phase difference, which is composed of a pair of vacant-quarter printed rings. It is noticed that the four rotated parasitic L-shaped metallic ground strips and ground plane are directly connected to form a folded ground plane instead of the traditional disconnection between parasitic elements and ground plane. By using these elements, multiple CP resonances can be excited to meet the requirement for the wideband CP radiation. The presented antenna shows outstanding CP feature with a broad axial-ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of 85.7% (1.3-3.25 GHz) and a wide impedance bandwidth (IBW) of 100% (0.95-2.85 GHz).

A Dual-Band Base Station Antenna with a Split Ring for Sub-6 GHz Communication

“…To understand the operating principle of the proposed antenna, the evolution of the proposed antenna is shown in Figure2. e occurrence of the adjacent resonances can effectively widen the impedance bandwidth once the inductance and capacitance of the two modes compensate for each other[2][3][4][5]. It can be noted that the structure in Figure2(b) has one more SR compared with Figure2(a), which is the same as the structure in Figure2(d) compared with Figure2(c).…”

“…As we know, the microstrip antenna has merits of low profile, easy fabrication, and low cost, but a narrow impedance bandwidth [2]. By loading parasitic elements [3,4], another resonance occurs near the main resonant frequency. A parasitic loop is placed below the two crossed dipoles and a parasitic disk, so that the bandwidth in [5] is also enhanced.…”

Dipole Antenna With Horn Waveguide for Energy Harvesting in DTV Systems

“…According to the research mentioned, it has the advantage of increasing the efficiency of the gain in energy harvesting, but there are also disadvantages in terms of gain optimization and much complexity with more adjusting points. As a result, the researchers choose disadvantages identified by this research that is the first part of a basic dipole antenna structure [27,28] with an increasing I-shaped stub to widen the frequency [16,[29][30][31][32] and gain enhancement for the antenna by using the horn waveguide [33][34][35] and in terms of getting more energy. The second part studies the matching impedance circuit using a Radial Stub Circuit (RSC) [20,36,37] with the power frequency signal converter circuit by using a full-wave rectifier circuit with a voltage multiplier circuit [16,38,39] to increase the pressure on the rectenna system that is designed to receive power at a frequency of 510-790 MHz, which is the digital TV wireless transmission system.…”

Broadband crossed dipole circularly polarized antenna with parasitic round‐metal pillars

“…22 Moreover, the CP bandwidth of the crossdipole antennas could be enhanced through combing the parasitic elements with modified dipoles. [23][24][25][26] Previous stateof-the-art investigations have presented a L-shaped crossdipole antenna with additional folded ground, 24 a trapezoidal-dipole loaded with a trapezoidal-patch, 25 and a cross-dipole antenna with four square-patches, 26 which could obtain 3-dB ARBW of 100%, 58.6%, and 66%, respectively. The operating principle is that the parasitic elements and deformed cross-dipoles could excite an individual AR resonant mode, which jointly increase CP bandwidth.…”
