Abstract :
A conformal log-period folded-slot antenna (LPFSA) with reduced size is designed and measured. A formula is put forward to evaluate the input impedance of the LPFSA. The performances of LPFSA mounted on a cylinder platform demonstrate that the antenna can be used for the DOA measurement on the axis direction of a missile.
