Abstract
A low profile single dipole antenna that can generate circularly polarized (CP) radiation patterns is proposed in this paper. The CP patterns and low profile configuration are achieved using a specially designed artificial ground plane: a thin grounded slab loaded with periodic rectangular patches. The artificial ground plane exhibits in-phase reflection coefficients with polarization-dependent feature. The radiation mechanism of the antenna is described, and experimental results verify the antenna concept.Keywords
