Abstract: A printed circuit board for an antenna comprising at least one antenna bay comprising an input port; a feed network and a radiative component is provided. The feed network has a center node connected to the input port; a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising an active surface having at least two feed micro-strips and a reference surface having at least two first reference micro-strips, the reference surface being opposite to the active surface. The radiative component has at least two dipoles, each of the at least two dipoles being shaped as a helix and being uniformly disposed about an antenna axis, each of the at least two dipoles comprising a dipole fed portion connected to one of the at least two feed micro-strips and a dipole reference portion connected to one of the at least two first reference micro-strips.
