  • Abstract
    The orthogonal mode of an aperture coupled rectangular microstrip antenna can be coupled to the aperture-excited mode with coplanar microstrip lines to provide a compact circularly polarised element with a single aperture feed. An equivalent circuit model was developed for the analysis and design of this element, and a working version was used to demonstrate the concept. The features of this antenna are compared with several other circularly polarised microstrip antennas
