Abstract
This letter proposes a novel planar endfire circularly polarized antenna with widened half-power beamwidth. Widened azimuth beamwidth mechanism of 2D sectorial electric dipole is theoretically revealed, thus it is able to combine with a rectangular magnetic dipole to yield a half-power beamwidth widened planar endfire circularly polarized antenna. Finally, a prototype planar endfire circularly polarized antenna with sectorial flared angle of α = 270° is fabricated, simulated, and implemented to validate the design approach. As investigated, the antenna exhibits broadened azimuth half-power beamwidth of 150° over a frequency range of 2.40–2.45 GHz.
