Abstract

A circularly‐polarized conical‐beam microstrip patch antenna, with a coplanar conductor pattern, is realized as an array of a number of stripline‐fed slotted patches whose diagonal corners are cut off and whose feedlines meet at a central point. Prototypes of such an antenna array with four patches are studied and tested. The results show reasonable agreement between measured and theoretical results.
