Abstract: A novel compact microstrip patch circularly polarised antenna for mobile wireless application is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is incorporated with
quadrilateral shape radiator, inverted S-shape partial ground plane and 50
Ω microstrip feed line. A wide impedance bandwidth of 109.13%
(1.69-5.75 GHz with measured 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 22.22%
(2-2.5 GHz) is realized with overall electrical size of
0.26 λ × 0.21 λ × 0.01 λ at
lower-end frequency. The antenna also exhibits good performance of
circular polarization (CP) radiation with lower 3d B AR beamwidth of ± 60°.
In addition, the specific absorption rate of the presented antenna is analysed.
