How is circular polarisation obtained from a single square patch?

  • A.By placing a dielectric slab of quarter wave thickness above the patch
  • B.By rotating the whole patch through forty five degrees on the substrate
  • C.By truncating two opposite corners to split the resonance into two modes
  • D.By feeding the patch at its exact centre so that both modes are excited

Answer: C

Truncating opposite corners splits the degenerate pair of orthogonal modes slightly in frequency, so that at the design frequency they are equal in amplitude and ninety degrees apart in phase. A nearly square patch fed on the diagonal achieves the same effect. Centre feeding excites nothing, a slab is a superstrate rather than a polariser, and rotation changes the orientation of a linear polarisation rather than its nature. Splitting a degenerate resonance is the single feed route to circular polarisation.
