  • Patent number: 6201513
    Abstract: A low phase error antenna. The antenna is adapted for use with the Global Positioning System and includes a spiral antenna for receiving electromagnetic energy at a first standard frequency (L1) and a second standard frequency (L2). The spiral antenna has a spiral element with a circumference greater than approximately one and a half times the wavelength of electromagnetic energy at the lowest frequency (L2). The cavity of the antenna is unloaded and includes a balun adjusted for zero squint. The antenna element is either a logarithmic spiral or an archimedian spiral. In the illustrative embodiment, the spiral antenna includes a cavity having a depth which varies in accordance with the received electromagnetic energy. The cavity is approximately ¼ of a wavelength deep at the positions along spiral that receive electromagnetic energy.

  • Patent number: 5541617
    Abstract: A quadrifilar helix antenna containing a hybrid junction power divider feed circuit and a plurality of radiating elements. The radiating elements are connected on one end to the hybrid junction power divider feed circuit and are free to radiate on the other end. In a particular embodiment, the antenna includes a microstrip hybrid junction power divider feed circuit deposited on the lower rectangular section of a dielectric substrate. The hybrid junction power divider feed circuit provides both a 0 to 180 degree phase shift and impedance matching. The antenna also includes four radiating microstrip elements deposited on the upper section of the dielectric substrate at a predetermined angle to form a helical pattern upon turning the planar antenna into a cylinder. The radiating elements are connected to the microstrip hybrid junction power divider feed circuit in pairs.

  • Patent number: 5349365
    Abstract: An improved helix antenna including a single unitary antenna having plural radiating elements extending radially from a common junction. A microstrip balun is connected to the plural antenna elements at the common junction. In a particular embodiment, the antenna includes four radiating elements arranged in a helical pattern and mounted such that a longitudinal axis extending through the axial center of the antenna is coincident with a longitudinal axis of the microstrip balun. One or more of the radiating elements includes a semi-circular loop to create phase relationships necessary for a circularly polarized beam pattern. The microstrip balun includes a transmission line and a ground plane on opposite sides of a dielectric substrate. The transmission line and the ground plane are tapered for impedance matching between the input and the output thereof.
