Abstract:

A technique to design a compact half mode substrate integrated circular cavity (HMSICC) cavity backed antenna is presented. The proposed antenna achieves left-handed circularly polarized(LHCP) using a crossed slot. The feeding strip-line loaded stub in the middle metallization layer and the S-shaped slot in the bottom metallization layer can achieve a better impedance match. Measured results show that the prototype achieves a bandwidth of 73% for 10dB return loss and that the axial ratio(AR) bandwidth is at least 16% with the maximum gain of 62dBi.

Key words: cavity-backed, circular polarization, half mode substrate integrated circular cavity(HMSICC), crossed-slot
