A circularly polarised (CP) wideband hook‐shaped microstrip fed patch antenna is presented. The wideband CP property for the proposed antenna is achieved by the hook‐shaped branch in the ground plane and inverted asymmetric arm L‐shaped microstrip fed. With an optimised dimension of the proposed antenna parameter, the experimental results show that the antenna has a 10 dB impedance bandwidth of 1.41 GHz (1.84–3.25 GHz) and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 1.67 GHz (1.86–3.53 GHz).
