Abstract
This paper describes a novel dual-feed circularly polarized antenna, and the dual feeding mode is realized by grooving on the antenna radiator. The antenna utilizes air dielectric material to meet the requirements of low weight and cost. Test results demonstrate that the antenna exhibits capacitive loading between the metal antenna patch and the ground floor, allowing for adjustment of the working frequency of the dual-feed circularly polarized microstrip antenna. Specifically, the original center frequency of 2.264 GHz was reduced to 1.582 GHz, facilitating antenna miniaturization and broad bandwidth. With a return loss (S11) below -10 dB, a bandwidth of 72 MHz (1.552-1.624 GHz) was obtained. Additionally, the dual-feed microstrip antenna incorporates a 90° bridge, resulting in circular polarization gains of 2.26 dBi at 1.561 GHz and 2.45 dBi at 1.575 GHz. Overall, the antenna design offers a large working bandwidth and excellent circular polarization characteristics, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in satellite navigation and positioning terminals.
