Single-Fed Low-Profile High-Gain Circularly Polarized Slotted Cavity Antenna Using a High-Order Mode

摘要

In this letter, a single-fed low-profile high-gain circularly polarized slotted cavity antenna using a high-order cavity mode, i.e., mode, is proposed. The proposed antenna has a simple structure that consists of a radiating linearly polarized slotted cavity antenna and a linear-to-circular polarization converter. An antenna prototype operating at WLAN 5.8-GHz band fabricated with low-cost standard printed circuit board (PCB) process is exemplified to validate the proposed concept. Measured results compared to their simulated counterparts are presented, and a good agreement between simulation and measurement is obtained.
