Design of series-fed circularly polarised printed array antenna
Abstract
A practical design method for a circularly polarized printed array antenna composed of strips and slots (CP-PASS) is presented which is based on an equivalent circuit model including interelement coupling effects. The validity of the approach proposed here is demonstrated by designing and testing a 7-set S-band Chebyshev-array CP-PASS with a -20 dB sidelobe level. Details of the design procedure and measurements of the antenna characteristics are presented.
