“…Multilayer patch antennas can provide a return loss of 10 dB or better over a 50% or more bandwidth. Microstrip feed antennas are used singly or in arrays and can be incorporated in a cavity or a horn to improve the radiation performance for feed applications where low noise temperature is required [64,65].…”

“…Phased array feeds allow correction of pattern distortion due to reflector surface aberrations [ Amitay and Zucker , 1972] and electronic formation of multiple scanned beams [ Galindo‐Isreal et al , 1978; Mrstik and Smith , 1981]. Array feeds are commonly used to obtain shaped gain patterns or achieve other pattern design criteria for such applications as satellite communications [ Reid and Bathker , 1972; Bird , 1982; Karimi and Blostein , 1996; Huang and Jamnejad , 1989; Singh and Kumar , 1996; Hall et al , 1989; Perrott and Griffin , 1991]. Phased array feeds have been used in radar applications for wide‐angle scanning and improvement of the efficiency of off‐axis beams of large‐aperture reflectors [ Blank and Imbriale , 1988].…”

[1] We consider the use of spatial filtering algorithms for radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation in conjunction with a focal plane feed array of electrically small elements. Numerical simulations are used to study the performance of 7 and 19 element hexagonal dipole arrays with a 25 m reflector at an operating frequency of 1612 MHz. Using the maximum SNR algorithm to generate array weights, an interfering signal was attenuated by 40 dB or more. The effective sensitivity of the system, including interferer power in the system noise temperature, was comparable to the sensitivity attained in the absence of RFI. Moving the interferer through the reflector pattern sidelobes caused fluctuations in the gain and system sensitivity. This effect was exacerbated by a reflector model with random surface distortions. These results indicate that array feeds are a promising approach for RFI mitigation, but achieving stable radiation patterns in the presence of an interferer may require a trade-off between pattern control and maximum attainable sensitivity.

In this paper, broadband and circular polarization techniques of Microstrip antenna (MSA) are studied. Microstrip antennas are suitable candidate for modern wireless communication. It possesses the advantages such as light weight, low cost and easy to fabricate, but they are inherence of bandwidth due to resonant nature. Several researchers attempted to overcome the above limitation. Also, MSA radiates naturally linearly polarized waves. Modern wireless communication requires circular polarization and wide bandwidth. In this context, several literature papers are available. The objective of the paper is to comprehensively study popular circular polarization and broadband techniques in MSA and sharing the knowledge to the new researchers in this field. Also, a design example is illustrated for broadband circularly polarized microstrip antenna
