Abstract :
In this work, a new impedance matching network is designed for Quadrifilar Helical Antenna (QHA). It is shown that the proposed network, which is realized by microstrip transmission line, can efficiently match the input impedance of the QHA to the required impedance at a narrow frequency band. The measurement results are presented to verify the quality of the network.
