Single-feed dual-band circularly polarised microstrip antenna

Abstract
A novel technique for obtaining dual-band circular polarisation (CP) radiation of a single-feed circular microstrip antenna is proposed and demonstrated. By embedding two pairs of arc-shaped slots of proper lengths close to the boundary of a circular patch, and protruding one of the arc-shaped slots with a narrow slot, the circular microstrip antenna can perform dual-band CP radiation using a single probe feed. Details of the antenna design and experimental results are presented.
