Abstract

In this paper, the design of a 0.5~2 GHz cavity-backed spiral antenna is described. Combined arm pattern with a log spiral in the inner region and an Archimedean spiral in the outer region, a backing cavity, and a Marchand coaxial balun for feeding are designed. Termination resistors are used to improve antenna characteristics at the lower frequency of the operation frequency. VSWR, axial ratio, gain and HPBW(Half Power Beam Width) characteristics are simulated using CST's MWS. Finally, the validity of these approaches is verified by comparing the simulated results with the measured ones. Also, the measurement results are compared with the performance of a commercial spiral antenna.

본 논문에서는 0.5~2 GHz 캐비티 백 스파이럴 안테나 설계에 대하여 기술하였다. 안쪽 부분은 Archimedean 스파이럴로, 바깥 부분은 log 스파이럴로 구현된 암(arm) 패턴, 백 캐비티(backing cavity), 그리고 급전용으로 Marchand 동축형 밸런을 설계하였다. 동작 대역의 저주파 대역에서 안테나 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 종단 저항을 사용하였다. CST사의 MWS툴을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였고, VSWR, 축비(axial ratio), 이득 그리고 반전력 빔폭을 고찰하였다. 최종적으로 제작 및 측정을 통해 설계 방법의 타당성을 검증하였고, 상용 스파이럴 안테나와의 성능을 비교하였다.
