Abstract
A new method of meandered variable pitch angle printed Quadrifilar Helix Antenna (MVPQHA) is described. This type of antenna helps in reducing the size of the printed quadrifilar helix antenna (PQHA) and makes the bandwidth of the antenna broader. The new type of antenna is compared with other existing types of printed quadrifilar helix antenna in terms of size, return loss and bandwidth.
