“…CP gain of the proposed antenna is again comparable to rest with an almost stable value throughout the four operational bands. Most importantly, the proposed antenna employs a simple geometry with single probe feed requiring no complex feeding network like, ease of fabrication through traditional low‐cost techniques and attains a significantly smaller size than rest of the reported designs. This comparison clearly shows the advantages of the proposed antenna for GNSS applications.…”

“…Multiband antennas have attracted interest of researchers worldwide. A number of studies have discussed multiband CP and/or linearly polarized (LP) antenna designs with single or multiple feeding points in the open literature . Quadrifiler helixes, annular rings, slotted patches, split ring resonators (SRRs) and stacked patches are some of the popular ways to generate multiple resonances with good CP operation.…”

“…Stacked patch structures are popular in multiband antennas as it provides more control on the radiation characteristics of individual operating bands where each patch supports one or the other operating band. Moreover, it offers enhanced impedance, higher axial ratio bandwidth, CP purity, and better gain as compared to traditional patch radiators . A dual‐band L1 and L2 CP operation has been achieved by placing two asymmetric slit square patches and a cross‐shaped slotted square patch over a reactive impedance surface in Reference .…”

Design of a multiband circularly polarized antenna is proposed in this article. The antenna has a simple and compact form factor by employing single-feed stacked patch structure. It exhibits good performance at the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) frequency bands of L1, L2, and L5 and cellular communications frequency band of 2.3 GHz. The antenna has a 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 1.1%, 1.0%, 4.1%, and 1.5% at the four operating bands of L1 (1.575 GHz), L2(1.227 GHz), L5 (1.176 GHz), and 2.3 GHz. The antenna also achieves a gain of more than 2.2 dBiC and efficiency of more than 70% at the four frequencies. A detailed parametric study is carried out to investigate the importance of different structural elements on the antenna performance. Results are verified through close agreement of simulations and experimental measurements of the fabricated prototype. Good impedance matching, axial ratio bandwidth, and radiation characteristics at the four operating bands along with small profile and mechanically stable structure make this antenna a good candidate for current and future GNSS devices, mobile terminals, and small satellites for 5G/Beyond 5G (5G/B5G) applications.

This paper illustrates a single antenna structure that simultaneously satisfies the antenna requirement for 5G cellular and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). The antenna has a linearly polarised omnidirectional radiation for the newly defined 5G sub‐6 GHz cellular bands in the 617–5000 MHz frequency range. In contrast, a right‐hand circular polarisation (RHCP) with a hemispherical radiation pattern at the GNSS L1 has a frequency range of 1559–1606 MHz. This multi‐function antenna would provide a simplified product design and better space utilisation, particularly suitable for flat antenna modules and automotive. The primary concept involves employing a planar inverted F antenna structure to generate radiation modes for cellular bands and incorporate U‐slot on the top plate to generate the GNSS radiation modes. The design methodology utilises the characteristic mode analysis tool to tune the desired radiation characteristic mode at the intended frequency range for each function. The antenna was fabricated, and the performance was evaluated on a 1‐m ground plane. The GNSS RHCP gain measures 5 dBc at boresight, with an axial ratio below 2 dB across the L1 bands, while the cellular gain maintains an excellent return loss and omnidirectional radiation pattern performance across the cellular bands.
