“…We present in this paper a compact, single-pin, single-layer, dual-band, dual orthogonal CP and vertically linearly polarised (VLP) antenna element suitable for automotive multiband antenna applications. Initial research in this topic was presented and discussed in [21]. This antenna element has a single feeding pin and it is smaller in size than the antennas presented in [1,2], and it is considerably smaller than the antenna reported in [20], hence achieving a cost effective and a less complex mechanical design because of its single-layer and single-pin configuration.…”

A low‐cost, reduced‐size, single‐feed, single‐layer microstrip patch antenna is presented that receives right‐hand circularly polarised satellite signals for the global positioning system's L1‐Band (1575.42 MHz) and left‐hand circularly polarised satellite signals and vertically linearly polarised terrestrial signals for the satellite digital audio radio system band (2320–2345 MHz). The proposed antenna is constructed of a main central patch and a ring surrounding it, both with truncated corners to achieve the desired circular polarisation characteristics. The two patches are connected to each other using four long and thin microstrip transmission lines. The design, simulation and measured results are presented. The effects of varying key antenna physical parameters were carefully examined and discussed in detail to characterise their effects on operational bandwidth.
