Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0434268A2] The invention relates to a microstrip antenna (2) for radiating or receiving circularly polarised radiation. The antenna (2) includes an array of radiation elements (4), a first feed means (12) coupled to the elements (4) in a manner for effecting circular polarisation in a first sense of signals afforded to the elements (4), and further feed means (14) arranged in a non-overlapping relationship with respect to the first feed means (12) and coupled to the elements (4) in a manner for effecting circular polarisation in the opposite sense of signals afforded to the elements (4). <IMAGE>
