The resonant frequency, reflection coefficient, and axial ratio of three circularly polarized narrow‐band microstrip antennas realized on various substrates are studied as a function of temperature. It is shown that the choice of the proper substrate material is crucial to provide proper operation of an antenna, even in a limited temperature range. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
