两种新型球面螺旋天线的特性分析

Analysis of two novel spherical helical antennas

将平面等角螺旋天线投影到半球面和部分球面上,得到半球面螺旋天线和部分球面螺旋天线两种新型球面螺旋天线.采用基于曲线基函数的矩量法对其辐射特性进行了分析,给出了天线的驻波、增益、极化及方向图等随频率变化的曲线.新型半球面螺旋天线具有较宽的圆极化带宽,部分球面螺旋天线增益曲线较为平坦,且易于加工,为不同要求下天线形式的选取提供了良好的依据.

Two novel spherical helical antennas are designed by projecting the planar equiangular spiral antenna onto the surfaces of hemisphere and partial sphere. Their radiation properties are analyzed by the moment method with the curved basic and testing function, and the curves of the VSWR, gain, polarization and pattern vs. frequency are also given, respectively. It can be seen that the circular polarization band of the novel hemispherical helical antenna is broader. The gain curve of the partial spherical helical antenna is flatter and the structure is simpler.
