  • Patent number: 4833482
    Abstract: An antenna arrangement is disclosed for radiating and receiving circularly polarized radiation. A first antenna array having parallel stripline conductors is disposed on the top surface of a dielectric substrate. The stripline conductors have radiating tabs protruding outwardly therefrom in a direction about 45 degrees from the stripline conductors. A second antenna array having a second plurality of stripline conductor is disposed on the substrate. The second stripline conductors are interdigitated with the first stripline conductors. The second stripline conductors also have a plurality of outwardly protruding radiating elements which form about a 90 degree angle with the first radiating elements. The first and second antenna arrays are fed with two independent signals about 90 degrees apart and will independently radiate a horizontally linearly polarized wave and a vertically linearly polarized wave respectively, which becomes a circularly polarized wave at far field.
