Circular polarization textile antenna for GPS application

A right-handed circular polarization (RHCP) textile antenna for Global Positioning System (GPS) application is proposed. The circular polarization (CP) is achieved by truncated two opposite edged of the 84 mm square patch. The proposed antenna design use a shieldit super as the radiator and felt fab...

Description
Summary:A right-handed circular polarization (RHCP) textile antenna for Global Positioning System (GPS) application is proposed. The circular polarization (CP) is achieved by truncated two opposite edged of the 84 mm square patch. The proposed antenna design use a shieldit super as the radiator and felt fabric as substrates. Such presented antenna attains a good bandwidth of 90 MHz from 1.53–1.62 GHz. Besides, the antenna is capable to perform an axial ratio of less than <3 between 1.56 and 1.62 GHz which covered the GPS operating frequency of 1.575 GHz. Moreover, this paper discussed the parametric study of the truncated patch in order to achieve CP. The simulated result shows that the presented antenna is potential for point-to-point wireless communication system.
