A Fibonacci Series Motivated Circularly Polarized L-Band Slotted Antenna for GNSS Application.

This paper proposes a co-planar waveguide-fed circularly polarized L-band antenna for GNSS Applications. The Fibonacci series inspired us to decide the physical dimensions of the radiating structure. The proposed antenna with the dimensions of 60 × 40 × 0.8 mm3 is fabricated by etching out several slots from the patch and ground plane as well. The circular polarization (CP) behavior is observed from different shaped slots in the ground plane as well as in radiating patches. The experimental and simulation results revealed good agreement over the entire operating frequency range. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
