pp: 767-770Design of Low-cost Microstrip Antennas for Glonass ApplicationsDaniel C. Nascimento, Ricardo Schildberg, and José Carlos da Silva Lacava doi:10.2529/PIERS071219114632 Downloads: 1149 Abstract:A new design procedure for low-cost circularly polarized microstrip antennas is proposed. Instead of the conventional truncated-corner square microstrip topology, a rectangular patch with four truncated corners and an equal number of stubs is utilized here. As an application, a Glonass receiver antenna is designed. Comparisons between experimental and simulated results are presented, revealing very good agreement.References:1. Nascimento, D. C., J. A.
