Stacked-Patch Dual-Polarized Antenna for Triple-Band Handheld Terminals

In this letter, a novel design of a stacked-patch triple-band antenna in both circular and linear polarizations that can be used on a handheld terminal for surveying and geo-informatics applications is presented. The inculcation of corner truncation and I-slot in both the lower and middle patches has achieved better impedance bandwidth and axial ratio at GPS L1, L2, and GSM 1800 resonant frequency bands. A prototype of the proposed design is fabricated, and its performance is verified in measurement.
