Abstract
The orthogonal mode of an aperture coupled rectangular microstrip ante nna can be coupled to the aperture-excited mode with coplanar microstr ip lines to provide a compact circularly polarised element with a Sing le aperture feed. An equivalent circuit model was developed for the an alysis and design of this element, and a working version was used to d emonstrate the concept. The features of this antenna are compared with several other circularly polarised microstrip antennas.
