研究目的
To design a wideband circularly polarized patch antenna with enhanced axial ratio bandwidth using λ/4 and λ/2 resonators.
研究成果
The proposed CP patch antenna achieves a 2% 3-dB AR bandwidth with a low profile of 0.014 λ0 by utilizing λ/4 and λ/2 resonators to create two minima in the AR response. This design provides wideband circular polarization with stable radiation patterns, demonstrating an effective co-design approach for feeding networks in patch antennas.
研究不足
The study is based on simulations only; no experimental validation is provided. The antenna profile is low (0.014 λ0), but the bandwidth (2%) might be limited compared to other wideband designs. The structure may be complex for some applications, and power handling or efficiency issues are not addressed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The antenna is designed using a co-design approach of the patch radiator and feeding network, employing one λ/4 resonator and one λ/2 resonator to excite two orthogonal modes. An equivalent circuit model is developed for efficient design, based on cavity model theorem and Chebyshev low-pass filter prototype.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The antenna is implemented on a Rogers 4003C substrate with a dielectric constant of 3.55 and thickness of 0.813 mm. Dimensions are optimized through simulation.

4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The geometry is designed and simulated. Coupling coefficients and external quality factors are calculated. Physical dimensions are determined using an extraction method, followed by fine-tuning. Simulations are performed to analyze reflection coefficient, gain, axial ratio, and radiation patterns.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Simulation results are analyzed for reflection coefficient (< -10 dB bandwidth), realized gain, axial ratio (3-dB bandwidth), and radiation patterns (cross-polarization levels and stability).
