Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>This paper presents the design of an antenna array utilizing stacked multiloop structures to produce the electromagnetic radiations with dual circular polarizations and multiple directional beams. In particular, with a proper design of isolations, each combination of these polarizations and beams can be operated in a relatively independent fashion to increase the system capacity by using a single antenna set. The antenna structure was validated by numerical simulations and experimental measurements, which are presented to exhibit the characteristics of radiation.</p> </abstract>
