Abstract :
A unique unidirectional octave-bandwidth reflector type circularly polarized antenna is described which uses crossed parallel connected conical dipoles operated near second resonance. The impedance characteristics of the antennas together with added series reactances gives the desired approximately quadrature current relation between the two dipoles. The axial ratio does not exceed 2 to 1.
