| Abstract | A circularly-polarised patch antenna with the loading of shorting pins is proposed in this study to sharpen the gain roll-off shape and widen the 3-dB axial ratio beamwidth (ARBW). First of all, it is theoretically revealed that when the electrical size of a circular patch radiator is appropriately constituted, the radiation gain at the horizon can be significantly suppressed and the axial ratio can be maintained below 3 dB over a wide angular range. By introducing a set of metallic pins, which short the patch in a circular contour, the resonant frequency of the antenna will be increased. In this way, the patch radius with respect to wavelength can be freely chosen, so that sharp gain roll-off rate and wide ARBW can be simultaneously achieved. After the extensive analysis is executed, two circular patch antennas with and without loading of shorting pins are designed, fabricated and tested for comparison. Simulated and measured results show that the gain roll-off is enhanced up to near 20 dB and 3-dB ARBW is extended to around 140° so as to effectively reduce the undesired multipath interference as highly demanded in the application of global navigation satellite system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
