Small Circular Polarized Antenna with Spiral Elements Suppressing Back-lobe Radiation

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to decrease back-lobe radiation of the small Circular Polarized (CP) antenna. The proposed CP antenna is composed of four antenna elements arranged in a rotational symmetry at 90 degrees on the ground, which are excited with the same amplitude and 90 degrees phase difference. Each antenna element is formed by a spiral antenna branched from the near the middle of an inverted-L antenna. From the result of simulation, backward radiation of the proposed CP antenna can be decreased significantly by adding the spiral elements.
