Abstract:
A broad-band circularly-polarized antenna is presented. The circularly-polarized antenna includes at least four monopole antenna elements having respective at least four radiating surfaces with respective at least four normals. The monopole antenna elements are arranged around a vertical axis. The normals of the respective radiating surfaces are perpendicular to and point away from the vertical axis. The broad-band circularly-polarized antenna includes at least one feed network communicatively coupled to edge portions of the at least four monopole antenna elements. A first antenna element is driven with a first driving phase offset by 90 degrees from a second driving phase used to drive a second antenna element. The second driving phase is offset by 90 degrees from a third driving phase used to drive a third monopole antenna element. The third driving phase is offset by 90 degrees from a fourth driving phase used to drive a fourth antenna element.
