ABSTRACT

This paper describes a novel structure of circular polarization plane antenna. Conventionally z-axis directivity was enhanced by increasing number of antennas. A novel plane array antenna is made by feed- and reactance-elements over a ground plate. A quarter-wavelength stripline with short circuit termination is made of a cylindrical collar connected to the ground plate. This element brings elimination of radiation along x – y plane to enhance z axis directivity. The characteristics of the proposed antenna are shown by 3D computer simulation. 1/3 radiated power was effectively inverted from x – y plane to z axis, and z axis directivity was found 1.2 dB higher than that of the original antenna. This effect contributes to minimize size of array and number of antennas into 2/3.
