Abstract
A new circularβpolarization (CP) design of an annularβring microstrip antenna operating at the fundamental TM~11~ mode is presented. The CP radiation of the proposed design is achieved by connecting an Lβshaped strip to two orthogonal sides of the inner boundary of the annularβring patch. A prototype of the proposed antenna fabricated on a foam substrate has been implemented and studied. The results show that good CPβradiation performances are obtained and the 3βdB axial ratio is about 2%. Good agreement is also obtained between the measured and simulated results.

## A new design of aperture-coupled microstrip antennas for circular polarization (CP) is presented. The CP microstrip antenna is excited by using a series microstrip-line-feed configuration through the coupling of a ring slot in the ground. The effects of different ring-slot sizes on CP performance
that a very coarse grid was used with EF equations, with only two cells between the microstrip and the ground plane and four cells across the microstrip. The maximum error in the 20α60 GHz frequency band is 1.5, 6.7, and 13.5% using the enhanced EF, split-cell, and staircase techniques, respectively
