Slot spiral antenna with integrated balun and feed

Abstract: A new planar, wideband feed for a slot spiral antenna is presented and tested at VHF frequencies. Radiation pattern measurements are presented to demonstrate the performance and usefulness of this feed. In contrast to most traditional printed spiral antenna designs, the one presented here incorporates a completely planar balun and feed, making it more attractive for conformal A NEW PLANAR FEED FOR SLOT SPIRAL ANTENNAS baluns, and large absorbing cavities. The presented slot spiral an-tenna feed integrates the balun into the structure of the slot spiral antenna, making the antenna and feed planar. This greatly simplifies the design and construction of the antenna, in addition to providing repeatable accuracy. It also allows the use of a very shallow reflecting

A Wideband Differential-Fed Slot Antenna Using Integrated Compact Balun With Matching Capability Han Wang, Zhijun Zhang, Yue Li, and Zhenghe Feng The evolution of the proposed slot antenna (a) Microstrip feed slot (b) Loop directly feed (c) Loop to slot feed (d) Loop to T-slot feed. Fig. 3. Bandwidth comparisons among four types of slot ... IET Digital Library: Low-profile broadband dual-mode four-arm slot spiral antenna with dual Dyson balun feed The authors propose a low profile 4-arm slot spiral for broadband commercial applications. The antenna is designed for circularly polarised dual-mode, 1st (normal) mode and 2nd (split-beam) mode, operation from 1.4–3.5 GHz and 2.5–6 GHz, respectively. Phase progressions at arm ports are realised through the odd and even coplanar waveguide (CPW) excitations, a dual Dyson balun, and a single A BROADBAND VHF-L BAND CAVITY-BACKED SLOT SPIRAL … Slot spiral antennas offer the possibility for very thin and conformal designs. This report covers the physical characteristic of a cavity-backed slot spiral, as well as the associated infinite balun and termination designs. The report traces through the development and characteristics of a 6” and 18” version of the slot spiral. Simulations and US5815122A - Slot spiral antenna with integrated balun and ...
