Abstract
In this paper, a new design of an S-band, self-phased, one-turn quadrifilar helical antenna (QHA) has been presented. The antenna has been analyzed in purposed of desired radiation pattern by numerical method. A new matching technique has been used to improve VSWR of the QHA. The eperimental results show the radiation pattern has Nadir null of about 6dB and Axial Ratio is better than 1dB. In addition, VSWR is less than 2 in frequency bandwidth of 120MHz. The anttena has low weight, size and cost which is suitable for satellite communication systems.
