Abstract

The present invention in one aspect relates to a circularly polarized antenna having a conductive ground layer, a conductive patch and a dielectric substrate formed between the conductive ground layer and the conductive patch. The conductive patch formed in a square shape with four equal sides and has four square slots with each formed in the central portion of each side, and two rectangular slots orthogonally formed in the central area of the square such that one rectangular slot is aligned with one diagonal of the square, the other rectangular slot is aligned with the other diagonal of the square, and the junction of the two rectangular slots is coincident with the geometrical center of the square.
