Abstract :
A novel multi-frequency printed quadrifilar helix antenna based on Multiple arm technique is presented in this paper. Double frequency and satisfactory antenna characteristics are achieved. The antenna has relatively compact size and hemispherical pattern with excellent circularly polarized coverage. The antenna is designed and simulated with the application of HFSS software. The simulation results and analyses are presented.
