Abstract
This paper presents the design of self-matching hemispherical helical antenna. The obtained experimental and simulated results show that adding the copper strip can both match the antenna and maintain its circularly polarized (CP) performance. This technique makes the proposed hemispherical helical antenna more attractable in satellite communication
