Abstract:

A novel bifilar constant-angle dielectric hemispherical helical antenna is developed. Its radiation properties are analyzed by the moment method with the curved basic and testing function, the curves of VSWR, polarization and pattern vs. frequency are presented, respectively. The calculated and measured results show that within the range of 800 MHz~2 600 MHz VSWR is less than 2, that AR is less than 3 dB, and that the relative bandwidth reaches 106%.

Key words: broadband, MOM, circular-polarization, helical antenna, dielectric
