A high‐gain circularly polarized microstrip antenna array is proposed using space‐fed configuration. In planar arrays, the design of feed network to generate circular polarization becomes extremely complex. The proposed configuration eliminates the feed network, which gives high efficiency and gain. Simulated and measured results are presented. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 52:2221–2223, 2010; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).
