Circularly polarized properties of a 4×4 element planar array of circular patch microstrip antenna printed on YIG ferrite substrate with a normal bias field are presented. Two hands of circular polarization are generated when the magnetic bias is applied. The calculated values of antenna parameters of array geometry as directive gain, efficiency and radiation conductance are presented for both the modes of circular polarization of three different values of biasing fields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
