The goal of this study is to propose a wideband circularly polarised (CP) psi‐shaped antenna of high gain and wide bandwidth as necessitated by intelligent transportation system applications. A wide impedance bandwidth of 2 GHz (40%) centred at 5.3 GHz is achieved through the combination of modified TM01, TM20, and TM21 modes with three slots on either radiating edge in the simple rectangular geometry of the antenna. The stacked patch configuration helps to achieve a minimum gain of 7 dBic in the entire bandwidth. The CP psi‐shaped antenna has an impressive axial ratio bandwidth of 1 GHz, which is >19% of its centre frequency 5.3 GHz. The proposed antenna can be used for detection of the blind spots of a vehicle at 5.88 GHz (DSRC frequency band), vehicle‐to‐vehicle communication at 5.2 GHz (WLAN IEEE 802.11a frequency band), and vehicle to roadside communication at 5.5 GHz (WiMAX IEEE 802.16 frequency band).
Abstract-Presently considerable amount of work has been done in tele-monitoring which involves the transmission of bio-signals and medical images in the wireless media.
