Multiband Probe-Fed Stacked Patch Antenna for GNSS Applications

Abstract

A novel design of multiband probe-fed stacked patch antenna for Beidou Satellite Navigation System (BDS) and Global Position System (GPS) applications is proposed. The presented antenna covers BDS-1 L (1616 ± 5 MHz), BDS-1 S (2492 ± 5 MHz), BDS-2 B 1 (1561 ± 5 MHz) and GPS L 1 (1575±5 MHz) frequency bands. Excellent high port isolation and Circular Polarized (CP) performance are achieved by introducing four metallized holes which are strictly symmetrical about the centre of the patch antenna. The proposed antenna is fabricated, and its performance is verified in measurement.
