Abstract
Purpose
To achieve right-hand circular polarization (RHCP), a 3-dB Wilkinson power divider with a λ/4 phase shifter is used. The crossed-dipoles are placed at almost λ/4 elevation on the ground plane and connected to two coaxial cables. Experiments show that the impedance bandwidth of 49.40% (913.7–1,513.1 MHz) and axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of 22.88% (1,145.8–1,441.8 MHz) are achieved.
Design/methodology/approach
In this study, a wideband crossed-dipole antenna with circularly polarized (CP) radiation for L-band satellite and radar applications is presented. The proposed CP antenna comprises two orthogonally placed printed dipoles, a quadrature coupler and a box-shaped ground plane.
Findings
Furthermore, by fixing the box-shaped ground plane under the radiators, 5.13 dBic RHCP peak gain at 1,300 MHz and maximum half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of 84.5° at 1,170 MHz are realized for the antenna.
Originality/value
Eight metallic walls are connected to four corners of the substrate to stabilize the radiation properties in this study. Results show that the ARBW and front-to-back ratio are improved and the maximum HPBW around 127° across the operating frequency band is achieved. The proposed CP antenna is a good candidate for Global Positioning System (GPS) L2 (1.227 GHz), GPS L5 (1.176 GHz) and air route surveillance radar system at 1,215–1,390 MHz frequency band.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to present a new triangular crinkle-shaped multiband antenna for multiband operation.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper refers to increasing the number of resonance frequency by appending triangular crinkle. Experimental frequency results of the presented antenna are 1.60/2.80/4.00/5.80/7.12/8.32/10.06 GHz.
Findings
The triangular shaped antenna is manufactured on a low-priced FR-4 substrate with small size and tested. The reported antenna with full size 14 × 14 mm2 with a half elliptical ground sheet on the bottom plane of the substrate and a triangular crinkle strip patch in the front of the substrate. The reported antenna has dual polarized, by rectangular slits on the ground sheet can produce the CP radiation on ITU band. The radiation characteristics indicate the mentioned antenna plays good task for multiband structures. Simulation and measured consequences are in desirable agreement and refer to agreeable operation for the introduced antenna.
Originality/value
Also, an evaluation is done based on multiple attribute decision-making method for comparison the proposed monopole antenna with some previously presented multiband monopole antennas.
