PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a patch antenna which requires only one transmission line and includes two radiating layers. SOLUTION: The patch antenna for receiving and/or transmitting circularly polarized RF signals includes a first radiating layer and a second radiating layer disposed substantially parallel to each other. Each radiating layer defines a pair of perturbation features. A ground plane layer is disposed underneath the radiating layers. The antenna also includes a feed line layer implemented as a coplanar wave guide and disposed between the radiating layers. The feed line layer allows for connection of a single transmission line to the antenna and for electromagnetically connecting the radiating layers to the transmission line. Dielectric layers separate the radiating layers, feed line layer, and ground plane layer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
