This study is concerned with the resonant electrical length of helical antennas. The first resonance appears as the helical antenna is transiting the frequency gap between its well-known normal and axial modes of operation. A parametric study is conducted to calculate the resonant electrical length as a function of the helical parameters, namely the radius and pitch of the helix. The results are validated by comparing the solutions of two independent problems, one is driven with a source and the other is an eigenvalue problem with periodic boundary conditions. The presented results are useful in the design of gap waveguides where the periodic media are made of helical wires.","PeriodicalId":132941,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131708326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For traditional FMCW radar, the range resolution is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of radar. The proposed hybrid FMCW-FSK radar utilizes an overlapped chirp waveform. The distance corresponded to every frequency can be detected if the targets in the same range bin has different Doppler frequencies. Therefore, the fundamental theoretical limit of range resolution can be broken through applying the proposed waveform. From the experimental results, the distinguishable range is 27.2 cm for 150 MHz bandwidth, compared to traditional 1m resolution. Accordingly, the ratio of improvement is 3.6 times.","PeriodicalId":132941,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134279152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
