Abstract

The BDS (Beidou) Navigation Satellite System has been a powerful tool in real-time navigation and positioning. In the transitional stage between BDS-2 and BDS-3, it would be a top priority to ensure the antenna is compatible with the two systems. In our investigations, a circularly-polarized (CP) patch antenna is proposed for receiving B1I signals. This antenna is a newly designed slit-loaded square patch structure. The T-shape structure with F-shape slots is deployed on each edge of the antenna, and a single feed is employed to excite right-hand CP radiation. In simulations, all the parameters of the antenna are optimized through Ansys HFSS. In experiments, the processed antenna is further testified, where the measured bandwidth is compared with the simulated one to verify the effectiveness of the antenna.
