What is the drawback of single feed circular polarisation on a patch?

  • A.The gain is three decibels lower than a linearly polarised patch gives
  • B.The patch must be made physically larger than a linear one at the same frequency
  • C.The feed point becomes extremely sensitive to manufacturing tolerance in position
  • D.Good axial ratio is obtained over only a very narrow band

Answer: D

The two split modes are in exact quadrature at only one frequency, so the axial ratio degrades quickly on either side and is usually acceptable over a band narrower than the impedance bandwidth. A dual feed with a ninety degree hybrid holds the axial ratio over a much wider range at the cost of the extra network. Gain is unaffected, the size is essentially unchanged, and feed position tolerance is a general patch issue rather than a specific one here.
