Abstract :
This paper presents a design concept of spiral antenna arrays which can realize the implementation of dual-polarization operation for multi-beam applications as in the DTV receptions of satellite communication. Each polarization is achieved by using a spiral arm in the antenna structure. The implementation examines the creation of triple beams for three satellite communication. Antenna design and measurement validation are presented.
