Abstract
A navel circularly polarized (CP) textile
patch antenna is presented in this paper. To our knowledge,
it is the first textile antenna with circular polarization and
for the first time, we show that more sophisticated design
methods are also applicable to flexible textile antennas. The antenna uses a single inset microstrip feed-line. To achieve proper CP operation, truncated carners along with a single
slit in patch are applied. The 3-dB axial-ratio CP bandwidth is about 3%, which represents a very good result even compared to standard, hard substrate CP antennas.
