Abstract:
In this paper, a hybrid Equi-angular Archimedean spiral antenna is proposed. The geometries of both Equi-angular and Archimedean spiral have been optimized to improve the reflection coefficient and axial ratio bandwidths. This design is etched on a copper disk of 48 mm and exhibits a wide S11 bandwidth (2.08 GHz up to 10 GHz) and AR bandwidth (2.29 GHz up to 10 GHz). Compared to a slot self-complementary spiral with the same diameter, the hybrid antenna extends the bandwidth about 250 MHz. The antenna has been modeled using HFSS EM software.
