A Design of Broadband Circularly Polarized C-Shaped Slot Antenna With Sword-Shaped Radiator and Its Array for L/S-Band Applications
In this paper, a novel wideband circularly polarized (CP) slot antenna and its array are presented.The antenna element consists of a C-shaped slot and a 50-Ω microstrip-fed port to achieve left-hand circular polarization.Both the impedance bandwidth (IBW) and the 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) are greatly broadened by off-center microstri
