Compact Circularly Polarized Wearable Button Antenna with Broadside Pattern for U-NII Worldwide Band Applications

摘要： A novel circularly polarized button antenna is proposed. The antenna is constructed on a disc shaped FR-4 substrate. This disc is located on top of a textile layer and supported by a feeding probe. The antenna works in the 5.47-5.725 GHz U-NII world wide band, with over 14% relative impedance bandwidth and over 7% relative axial ratio bandwidth. A prototype has been fabricated and measured. A good agreement is found between measured and simulated results.
