In this paper theoretical and experimental investigation of a right hand circularly polarized microstrip rectangular patch antenna have been presented. The antenna has a coaxial feed and designed for operating at L1 frequency (1575 MHz) of global positioning systems (GPS). The antenna have been simulated and optimized using the HP-HFSS software in combination with Empipe3D. The inherently narrow bandwidth of the antenna was increased to 70 MHz using an air layer. A useful practical method was proposed in order to minimizing the input VSWR of the antenna. Theoretical and measured results have been presented and compared.

Printing technology is known as one of the most suitable methods for adding electrical functionalities to textiles and inkjet method because of advantages such as low cost, availability, flexibility, … is a special method amongst all available printing techniques. This is the objective of this research to employ the novel method of using reactive inks in order to react with each other after being jetted onto the substrate for fabrication of simple electric circuit components. In this method, dilute solution of silver salt and a reducing solution are subsequently printed on each substrate. Oxidation-Reduction reaction between two inks deposits metallic silver nanoparticles by in situ reduction of silver salt forming an electrically conductive surface. The best reducing agent for inkjet deposition of silver was found to be ascorbic acid at normal pH. Conductive lines and patterns were fabricated on paper, plastic films and textile fabrics using the above technique and the effect of different parameters on their final conductivity were investigated and tried to gain the highest possible conductivities on each substrate. Based on our observations and results; inkjet technology posses very high potential for fabrication of silver nanoparticles containing patterns with conductivities up to 5x105 S/m for use as circuitry components.
