Triple-Resonance Wideband Sector Patch Antenna Under 1.25-Wavelength by Jian Yu, Shan-Shan Gu

“…In the design, the triple-resonance wideband characteristic is obtained by integrating the second odd-order mode with the first and third modes, perturbed through the introduction of two slits and a shorting pin. Furthermore, since the E-amplitudes contributed by the three modes are equal at a specific angle, the introduced pin is also employed to achieve a 90° phase shift, enabling CP radiation around the resonant frequency of the second mode. …”
