Abstract: In this article, a compact broadband circularly polarized (CP) antenna with non-planar reflector is presented. In this antenna, two fan-shaped cross-dipoles as the primary radiator and a stepped ground as a reflector are proposed to generate a broadband CP radiation. Besides, four L-shaped patches are introduced to effectively extend the bandwidth (BW) and extract a gain improvement together with the stepped ground. The measured -10 dB impedance BW is 132.08 % (1.36-6.65 GHz) and 3 dB axial ratio (AR) BW is 128.6% (1.39-6.4 GHz), closely with the simulated AR BW 136.73% (1.18-6.28 GHz), showing the proposed antenna features a wider bandwidth, comparing with other broadband CP antennas using similar structures. Due to the compact structure, the overall size of the proposed antenna is only 0.27λ l ×0.27λl©0.12λ l (where λ l is the free-space wavelength at 1.36 GHz). The proposed antenna has a wide application scope, such as the wireless network and satellite telecommunications.
