Abstract-In this paper, the development of an eight-element
circularly polarized microstrip array at 5.8 GHz is presented.
Theory and experiment demonstrate both axial ratio 3 dB
bandwidth and the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) 2:1
bandwidth of 8.6%. Different half power beamwidth at
horizontal plane (16) and vertical plane (36) is achieved, and
the measured array peak gain is 14 dBi at center frequency. The
sequential rotation method for the element arrangement and
array arrangement is employed to meet these objectives. The use
of coplanar corporate feeds for microstrip patch arrays leads to
constructional simplicity.
