The design of a single-feed, reduced-size circularly polarized circular microstrip antenna with four slits equally spaced and inset at the boundary of the circular patch is experimentally in¨estigated. Results show that by increasing the slits' lengths to be about 0.8 times the disk radius, the circ

β¦ Synopsis
Edge feeding of a circular patch antenna by a microstrip line has been achieved by utilizing the circumferential variation of the field which is fixed by loading the patch. However, loading splits the degenerate modes and gives rise to cross-polarization. Three different techniques are presented to analyze the loaded circular patch antenna. Comparison with the measured results for input impedance and radiation patterns shows good agreement. The concept used here is very general and can be applied to the edge feeding of any ring antenna.
