It is difficult to realize a traveling wavemode current on a single conductor loop to generate a wideband circularly polarized (CP) radiation wave using a single feeding structure. In this communication, with the help of the characteristic mode analysis, we cut a wide gap in the annular ring conductor patch and design the feeding structure with capacitive coupling effect on the patch. By this way, the annular patch is effectively distributed with traveling wave currents and a printed annular ring antenna operating in the 2.4 GHz band is constructed. The experimental results show that the proposed antenna can generate CP radiation with impedance and axial ratio bandwidths of 26% and 10.6%, respectively. Meanwhile, this antenna has a good structural tolerance capability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
