Abstract

A novel low-profile broad-beamwidth circular polarization antenna, named modified microstrip-monopole antenna is presented in this article. Four small circular patches are loaded at the top of the microstrip-monopole antenna. Applying this simple method, the thickness of the proposed antenna can be reduced to only 45.9% of the microstrip-monopole antenna. The low profile characteristics of microstrip antenna can be kept. The 3-dB beamwidth of the proposed antenna is 134° at the central frequency, which is 1.81 times of the classical microstrip antenna. Measured and simulated results are demonstrated, and good agreement is obtained.
