Abstract
A dual-band circularly polarized antenna fed by four apertures that covers the bands of GPS, Galileo, is introduced. The ARSAs designed using FR4 substrates in the L and S bands have 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidths (ARBWs) of as large as 37% and 52%, respectively, whereas the one using an RT5880 substrate in the L band, 61%. In these 3-dB axial-ratio bands, impedance matching with VSWR<=1.8 is also achieved. Three wideband planar baluns are used to achieve good axial ratio and VSWR. The results of the annular-ring microstrip antenna show good performance of a dual-band operation, which meets the requirement of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications. INDEX TERMS: Broadband feed network, circularly polarized (CP), Annular Ring Slot Antenna (ARSA), dual-band patch antenna, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).
