Equiangular Spiral

A low-cost high-efficiency ultra-wideband (UWB) cavity-backed spiral antenna is proposed. It employs an equiangular spiral enclosed by an Archimedean spiral and it is fed through a tapered microstrip balun. A center-raised cylindrical absorber-free cavity backs the spiral to minimize the backward radiation without decreasing the efficiency. The cavity is designed to ensure an impedance bandwidth exceeding 16:1 ratio (from 350 MHz to 5.5 GHz). Simulated and measured results are presented and compared, demonstrating competitive performance in terms of impedance bandwidth and efficiency. Time–domain measurements indicate fidelity of 0.62 at boresight.

This paper presents, for the first time, the hybrid use of loading techniques (which involve terminating the spiral arms with different structures to give a resistive or capacitive effect) and a novel technique of cavity groove in order to enhance the performance of two-arm, cavity-backed, 2–18 GHz spiral antenna. The antenna is made on Duroid 5880 and has the smallest form factor (50 mm diameter), meeting all the performance metrics, which are targeted for efficient performance of a spiral antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. Measured results match the simulated results and show that by the utilization of hybrid loading and cavity groove, the gain is increased by a factor of 3.65 dBi and the axial ratio is improved by 2.73 dB at (2 GHz) as compared to a simple Archimedean antenna made on Duroid 5880, without increasing the size. The proposed antenna shows 2.25 dB more gain and improved axial ratio performance as compared to a simple Archimedean spiral antenna made on Tmm4, without the utilization of the hybrid techniques proposed earlier in the literature.
