ABSTRACT:
An antenna for receiving or transmitting electromagnetic waves with circular polarization or, in certain configurations, linear polarization. The antenna element is low-cost, wide-band and medium-gain broadside antenna element which may be used alone or in arrays. One embodiment disclosed comprises a wire or micro-strip conductor outlining a cruciform shaped loop parallel to a conductive plane from which it is separated by a dielectric layer. The lengths and widths of the branches of the cruciform loop are chosen to be .lambda.g/2 and .lambda.g/N respectively, where .lambda.g is the guide wavelength of the radiative transmission line formed by the conductor and plane. The antenna element is applicable to mobile earth-bound terminals for selective communications, for example.
