Design and Development of Circular Polarized Conformal Microstrip patch Antenna

Abstract

This paper presents broadband circular polarized conformal antenna with a square patch for on-board applications. The substrate is located in between patch and the ground. A novel Circular polarized square patch with microstrip feed with two truncated corners with conformal structure is designed. Using a parametric study on the effect of the position of feed, the antenna parameters VSWR bandwidth, half power beam width and polarization of antenna are analysed. Finally fabrication of conformal square patch on 2.2 dialectic substrate and measured results are discussed.
