Abstract :
Broadband circular polarisation (CP) operation of single-feed slot-coupled microstrip antennas is achieved using an inclined nonlinear coupling slot. This nonlinear slot, end-loaded with two V slots, significantly broadens the CP bandwidth to about 2.1 times that obtained using a simple inclined coupling slot for CP operation. Details of the antenna design are described, and experimental results of the CP performance are presented
