Abstract

A compact dual-circularly polarized (CP) patch antenna with wide axial ratio beamwidth (ARBW) based on square-ring coupled feeding is proposed. A meandered patch and a shorting wall are introduced for size reduction and ARBW enhancement. A square ring structure etched below the patch is used to feed through capacitive coupling. A quadrature hybrid, integrated into the feed network, introduces a 90° phase difference between the outputs of the through and coupled arms, facilitating the emission of CP radiation. The ultimate size of the proposed antenna are 0.38λ0 × 0.38λ0 × 0.05λ0. The simulated outcomes demonstrate the -10 dB impedance bandwidth (IBW) over 30% and the 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth exceeding 20%. The maximum ARBW reaches 227° in two orthogonal principal planes at 2.44 GHz, consistent for both CP states.
