Abstract
In this paper, a circular polarized small antenna
is proposed by way of a metamaterial coplarnar-waveguide
(CPW) transmission line (TL). The zeroth-order resonance of the

III. RESULTS
Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show the simulated and measured results
of the impedance bandwidth and CP bandwidth of the
proposed antenna. The simulated and measured impedance
bandwidths (lOdB reflection coefficient) are about 6.5% (3.7
- 3.95 GHz) and 4.8 % (3.735 - 3.92 GHz), respectively. The
simulated CP bandwidth (AR < 3dB at broadside direction)
of the antenna is about 6.1 % (3.645-3.876 GHz).
