Abstract
A low profile wide slot antenna for dual band and dual sense circular polarization (CP) is proposed here and is simulated by using HFSS simulation software.The proposed antenna having a C shaped patch for dual band operation and a wide square slot etched on the ground with two strips for CP operation. In between radiating patch and ground plane, designed antenna has a layer of easily available dielectric (FR-4) material. Proposed antenna shows an impedance bandwidth of 13.8 % at 2.38 GHz of centre frequency and 9.7 % at 4.43 GHz of centre frequency for lower and upper band respectively. The 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidths for lower and upper band are 18.8 % (at 2.44 GHz of centre frequency) and 13.3 % (at 4.29 GHz of centre frequency), respectively. The peak gain for the lower and upper band is found as 4.1 dBi and 3.3 dBi, respectively. A close agreement has been found between the simulated and the measured results.
