Design of Spiral Helix Antenna for Broadband Applications

Dhupam Arun Kumar

Abstract


The Aim of the paper is to design and develop a tapered spiral helix antenna covering the frequency range 1-18GHz. Tappered spiral helix antenna is a compact state-of-the-art circularly polarized antenna, which works over multi-octave frequency bandwidth(1-18GHz). The  antenna  size has been reduced by 50 percent with respect to conventional spiral antenna used for same frequency band.  This antenna adequately satisfies all of the generally standardized physical constraints and limitations placed upon airborne platforms.
