Abstract :
A simple method for designing and optimising a multiband printed quadrifilar helix antenna is presented. Using multiple arm techniques, a tri-band antenna working in L-band for GPS applications is realised with a good gain and a good circular polarisation. Measured results are presented to validate the concept.
