Case Studies

Chapter 6 presents case studies to illustrate how to design and implement CP antennas in practical scenarios. Five case studies, including a dual-band CP array for GPS remote sensing application, a small-size printed quadrifilar helix antenna for mobile terminals in satellite communications at the S-band, a broadband CP antenna for radio frequency identification reader, a CP reflectarray for Ka-band mobile satellite communications and a wideband logarithmic spiral antenna for wideband RF measurement applications, are presented. The design guidelines for each of these CP antennas are given and each design step is explained. Simulation and measurement results are presented and discussed.
