Abstract :
This letter describes the concept, design, and measurement of a low-profile integrated microstrip antenna for dual-band applications. The antenna operates at both the GPS L1 frequency of 1.575 GHz with circular polarization and 5.88 GHz with a vertical linear polarization for dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) application. The antenna is low profile and meets stringent requirements on pattern/polarization performance in both bands. The design procedure is discussed, and full measured data are presented.
