The proposed design methodology significantly improves the performance of a dual circularly polarized resonance cavity antenna (CP-RCA) by enhancing realized gain, aperture efficiency, and axial ratio (AR). Conventional RCAs typically employ complex, multi-layered circularly polarized partially reflecting surface (CP-PRS) superstrates to achieve circular polarization. In contrast, this work introduces a simplified, single-layer dual CP-PRS that realizes circular polarization at the design frequency of 7 GHz by ensuring the equal magnitudes and a ±90° phase difference between the orthogonal components of the transmitted waves. To further enhance the broadside realized gain, the CP-PRS is integrated with artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) unit cells, designed in compliance with Trentini's beamforming condition. The proposed CP-RCA achieves a realized gain of 12.7 dBi, aperture efficiency of 27%, and a remarkably low AR of 0.64 dB. Simulated results strongly validate the effectiveness of the proposed design methodology, highlighting its potential for advanced wireless communication systems.
