Abstract

In this research work a novel and compact broadband U-shaped CPW-Fed single-patch antenna is proposed for Galileo applications. The enhanced performance of the single patch antenna relevant to Galileo signal reception and coverage is presented through simulation and analysis using Microwave Office for the purpose of establishing in depth the benefits of antennas in modern navigation apparatus and applications. The proposed antenna has a center frequency in 1.351 GHz and offers a return loss of better than -10dB from 1.1 to 1.6 GHz. Moreover, satisfactory radiation pattern is obtained through simulation. The proposed patch antenna is suitable for implementing low cost, high stable and well circular polarized Galileo antenna, as demonstrated by numerical simulations.
