A novel circularly polarised (CP), single-fed widebeam microstrip antenna is presented. The antenna consists of a corner- truncated square patch and a three dimensional circular ground structure. Simulated and measured results show that, owing to the ground structure, the 3dB beamwidth of the CP radiation can reach more than 165 - , which is about 85 - greater than that of a corresponding regular microstrip antenna. It is also shown that experimental results were in good agreement with the simulated performance. Details of the proposed 3-D circular ground structure are described, and the efiects of various dimensions of the proposed ground structure on the beamwidth enhancement of CP radiation are studied.
