A dual circularly polarized (CP) antenna is proposed in this paper. By employing suspended strip line to feed the patch at the two diagonal positions with 90 ◦ phase difference, single circular polarization is firstly obtained. Then dual circular polarization is excited by an L-shaped strip. The two feeding ports near the edges of the L-shaped strip arms provide the conversion between left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) and right-hand circular polarization (RHCP). Measured results show that the proposed antenna has 10-dB return loss bandwidth of 30.5% (2.08-2.83 GHz), 10-dB isolation bandwidth of 15.7% (2.29-2.68 GHz), 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 25.1% (2.16-2.78 GHz).
