Abstract
Design and measurement data are presented that show how the novel concept of a traveling-wave-fed circular-polarization (CP) microstrip antenna can be extended to provide an antenna with dual CP. A new refinement to the basic antenna structure is also introduced that shows that the efficiency of radiation can be enhanced by using a dual dielectric to improve the fringing fields at the edges of the radiating patches by around 40%. Furthermore, new theoretical and simulated data are introduced to support the original traveling-wave feed conceptKeywords
