Verification of Four Elements Helical Antennas Array Design Procedure

Abstract

This paper is focused on design, simulation, realization and parameters measurement of the four element helical antennas array. First part of the article is dedicated to the design of helical antenna and their electrical characteristic calculation. The second part is dedicated to the four elements helical antennas array design and realization. Single helical element and array characteristics were calculated and then simulated using CST Microwave Studio software package. Measured, calculated and simulated antenna characteristics were compared to each other, to verify correlation between the theoretically and experimentally obtained data.
