This project describes the design of a circularly polarized microstrip antenna that operates in WLAN system. A circular polarization design for single feed microstrip antenna is presented and experimentally studied. The antenna proposed is a variation of the 'nearly square' patch and exhibits return loss of less than -10 dB and VSWR of less than 1.5. The frequency of operation for the antenna is 2.45 GHz. The project was carried out with some investigation, analysis, design, simulation using Computer Aided Design (CAD), and fabrication. Typical simulation and experimental results of the circular polarization microstrip antenna obtained by applying this design method are presented and discussed.
