Abstract

In this paper, a circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna with two cross-shaped directors is proposed. The patch antenna is first designed in the form of a traditional linear polarized antenna. Then, two opposed corners of the patch are truncated to give a circular polarization property to the antenna. In the last design phase, two cross-shaped directors are added in front of the patch surface of the microstrip antenna to increase its gain. All adjustable geometrical properties of the antenna are optimized by parameter sweep method for each design phase. The antenna gain is increased from 3.99 dBi to 4.402 dBi with the help of the directors. After the gain improvement of the proposed antenna, its S11 and axial ratio (AR) characteristics are still in the desired range. The resonance frequency of the antenna is slightly shifted from 1700 MHz to 1705 MHz whereas AR remains below 3dB level successfully.
