A novel printed crossed dipole with broad axial ratio (AR) bandwidth is proposed. The proposed dipole consists of two dipoles crossed through a 90°phase delay line, which produces one minimum AR point due to the sequentially rotated configuration and four parasitic loops, which generate one additional minimum AR point. By combining these two minimum AR points, the proposed dipole achieves a broadband circularly polarized (CP) performance. The proposed antenna has not only a broad 3 dB AR bandwidth of 28.6% (0.75 GHz, 2.25-3.0 GHz) with respect to the CP center frequency 2.625 GHz, but also a broad impedance bandwidth for a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) ≤2 of 38.2% (0.93 GHz, 1.97-2.9 GHz) centered at 2.435 GHz and a peak CP gain of 8.34 dBic. Its arrays of 1 × 2 and 2 × 2 arrangement yield 3 dB AR bandwidths of 50.7% (1.36 GHz, 2-3.36 GHz) with respect to the CP center frequency, 2.68 GHz, and 56.4% (1.53 GHz, 1.95-3.48 GHz) at the CP center frequency, 2.715 GHz, respectively. This paper deals with the designs and experimental results of the proposed crossed dipole with parasitic loop resonators and its arrays.

A rectenna designed with a microstrip harmonic-rejecting circular sector antenna at 2.4 GHz is proposed. As compared to a conventional microstrip square-patch antenna, the circular sector antenna, using inset feeding, exhibits high reflection coefficients at the second and the third harmonics, generated by a diode. The rectenna with integrated circular sector antenna can eliminate the need for a lowpass filter (LPF) placed between the antenna and the diode as well as producing higher output power, with a maximum conversion efficiency of 77.8% using a 150-/spl Omega/ load resistor.

This letter describes a square patch antenna with a switchable circular polarization (CP) sense. The proposed antenna has four L-shaped slots on the ground plane, and the CP radiation can be generated by current perturbation due to the slotted ground plane. Because the CP sense of the proposed antenna is altered by the current path that is redirected with switched p-i-n diodes on the slots, the CP direction of the proposed antenna can be simply switched between the right-handed and left-handed CPs. As the slot and bias circuits are not placed on the patch side, the proposed antenna has a simple structure and can radiate a CP wave without altering the main beam direction. The experimental results show that antennas have excellent switchable radiation performance at 2.4 GHz.

A crossed dipole antenna with a reconfigurable circular polarisation (CP) is proposed. This antenna consists of a pair of L-shape elements with λg/4 phase delay lines and DC bias circuits for pin diodes. As the state of the pin diodes mounted between the feeding points and the L-shape elements is changed, the phase sequence of the crossed dipole can be varied. The CP sense of the proposed antenna can be switched with excellent electrical controllability.

In this paper, a new composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) with equilateral slots is proposed for efficiency-improved zeroth-order resonant antennas. A 1-D infinitesimal equivalent transmission line circuit model is derived, and the characteristic impedance and dispersive relation are theoretically computed. Based on the isotropic arranged unit cells of the slot-loaded composite right/left-handed transmission line (SL CRLH-TL), 2-D zeroth-order resonators are designed for planar magnetic monopole antenna applications. The SL CRLH-TL provides the zeroth-order resonance with some degradation of the quality factor. Therefore, a highly efficient radiating resonator can be designed with higher gain at the zeroth-order frequency. The theoretical approach was verified by the experimental results. The radiation efficiency was improved by up to 45.6% for the nine-rectangular zeroth-order resonant antenna and 21.4% for the seven-hexagonal zeroth-order resonant antenna without degrading the radiating performance. Moreover, the antenna gains of these two antennas were enhanced by 7.56 and 6.31 dB, respectively, due to the increase of the radiation efficiency.

A novel phase shifter with defected ground structures (DGSs) for higher phase shift range is presented. The varactor diodes are mounted on DGSs of termination loads to control the large phase variation of the DGS at resonance. The experimental results of the proposed phase shifter show a 60° increase in maximum phase shift compared with that of a conventional one.
