Abstract

Broadband and the high gain circularly polarised antenna are designed in a single-layered planar substrate. An array of 3 × 3 truncated corner square patches are designed as a metasurface antenna on one side of the substrate and the metasurface antenna is fed by a stub-loaded uniform aperture CPW feed on another side of the substrate. In the metasurface antenna, the size of the central patch is increased for improving the bandwidth of impedance bandwidth and 3 dB axial ratio. Furthermore, the amount of truncation is reduced in the patches surrounding the central patch to enhance the bandwidth of impedance bandwidth and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth. The designed metasurface antenna has achieved an impedance bandwidth of 38.2% (4.5–6.63 GHz) with an axial ratio bandwidth of 13% (5.0–5.7 GHz). Moreover, the antenna has a peak gain of 10.36dBic. The simulation and measurement results are compared.
