It is well-known that the axial ratio is ome of most essential characteristics in term of antenna with circular polarization. Many methods had been reported in attempting to generate circular polarization, one of them is by utilizing a truncation technique. Thus, in this work a novel truncation shape using a triangular truncation is introduced. The required antenna dimension is less than 40\mathbf{mm}\times 40\mathbf{mm}. A single patch antenna is developed by two layers of NPC-H220A substrate with each thickness of 1.6mm and dielectric constant of 2.17. The feeding line is positioned at the middle part between the first layer and the second layer. Here, the proposed antenna attains a decent circular polarization. The axial ratio obtained is 0.49GHz with the low frequency stands at 7.9GHz and the high frequency stands at 8.44GHz. Meanwhile, the minimum requirements of antenna design are 0.4GHz bandwidth with the resonant frequency at 8.2GHz.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Antenna dimensions,Axial ratio,Circularly polarized microstrip antennas,Essential characteristic,Feeding lines,Minimum requirements,triangular truncation,Truncation techniques[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]axial ratio,circular polarization,feeding line,Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR),triangular truncation[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors would like to thank National Institute of Aeronautics and Space of Indonesia (LAPAN), especially for Center of aviation Technology, Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia for always supporting all the activities, Chiba University Strategic Priority Research Promotion Program FY2016-FY2018, Chiba University Institute of Global Prominent Research FY2016–FY2019.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/TENCON.2019.8929582[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
