Circular polarization is manifested by means of truncations on basic circular radiating patch with precisely designed asymmetric feed. The proposed truncated circular microstrip antenna (TCMA) yields impedance bandwidth (IBW) of 7.6 GHz, almost covering the FCC approved ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency and 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of 5.05 GHz spreading over two bands, enabling the antenna to be used for multiple applications in UWB frequency range. A peak gain of 5.73 dBi is documented at 5 GHz which is within the circular polarization (CP) band. This single feed antenna is very simple to design and compact in size.
