Inkjet Printed Flexible Dual-Band Dual-Sense Circularly Polarized Patch Antenna

This research proposes an inkjet printed dual-band dual-sense circularly polarized antenna using CPW-feeding on PET substrate. The antenna is designed and optimized using ANSYS HFSS, which operates at 4.01 GHz - 5.05 GHz (22.96%) and 6.23 GHz - 7.58 GHz (19.55%) with a return l...

description This research proposes an inkjet printed dual-band dual-sense circularly polarized antenna using CPW-feeding on PET substrate. The antenna is designed and optimized using ANSYS HFSS, which operates at 4.01 GHz - 5.05 GHz (22.96&#x0025;) and 6.23 GHz - 7.58 GHz (19.55&#x0025;) with a return loss of &#x003C;&#x2212;10 dB. On top of that, the antenna shows an axial ratio of less than 3 dB at 4.23 GHz - 4.62 GHz (8.81&#x0025;) and 7.11 GHz - 7.36 GHz (3.45&#x0025;), whereas left hand circular polarization (LHCP) is observed in the first band and right hand circular polarization (RHCP) is observed in the second band. The overall dimensions of the antenna is <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.44\lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula> x <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.52\lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula> x <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.002\lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula>, where <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula> is the free-space wavelength at the lowest circular polarization frequency. Measurement of the fabricated version shows good agreement with the simulated version. To the best of author&#x2019;s knowledge, this proposed design is the first circularly polarized antenna integrating flexibility with dual-band and dual-sensing characteristics.
