    Abstract

    ![CDATA[With the use of a periodic structure superstrate, a wideband and high gain CP-MPA was designed. The utilization of the proposed periodic structure as superstrate not only significantly enhances its gain, impedance and AR bandwidths, but it also reduces the antenna profile. The fabricated prototype attained an overlapped bandwidth (RL ≥ 10 dB and AR ≤ 3 dB) of 10.1% (2.328-2.576 MHz). Average gain of 8 dBi has been achieved across the overlapped bandwidth. The 20 dB difference can be observed between LHCP and RHCP radiation. From measured results, the front-to-back ratio is more than 30 dB.]]
