Abstract
A cavity-backed loop antenna with a simple feeding structure is proposed for broadband circularly polarized (CP) radiation. The proposed antenna configuration consists of a slot loop and a strip loop. The slot loop radiates a CP wave at a lower frequency while the strip loop produces CP radiation at a higher frequency. A combination of the two frequencies leads to a bandwidth enhancement. The slot/strip loop antenna is fed by a single straight microstrip line. It is demonstrated that the cavity-backed slot/strip loop antenna can achieve an axial ratio (/spl les/3 dB) bandwidth of 20% with good impedance matching.
