【 摘 要 】

The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) is a newly functional regional satellite navigation system around Indian subcontinent. It is also known as its functioning name of NaVIC, Navigation with Indian Constellation, working on L5 and S band. In this paper a compact and low cost circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna is proposed for IRNSS S band application, to provide single frequency navigation solution. Fabrication of proposed antenna is performed using substrate of RT Duroid 5880 with the dimensions of 0.66λ × 0.5λ. The performance of IRNSS is investigated by prototype antenna and Accord made triband antenna with IRNSS/GPS/SBAS receiver which is enable to receive L1, L5 and S band data. The comparison of proposed S band antenna, triband accord system antenna and GPS antenna is presented in terms of carrier to noise ratio and positioning error. Results show that proposed antenna is suitable for S band application of IRNSS receiver.
