Abstract

This paper demonstrates the characteristics of a new microstrip antenna arrays radiating circularly polarized conical beam. The proposed antenna is realised as an array of a number of stripline fed slot patches whose diagonal corners are cut off and feed lines meet a central feed point. Designs of practical prototypes of such an antenna array with three patches are studied and tested. Both simulated and measured results meet satisfactory agreement for the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and Wireless LAN applications.
