In this paper the design method of the airborne planar spiral antenna with balanced feed is analyzed and a compound planar spiral antenna with equiangular spiral antenna terminated by Archimedean structures is proposed. In the operating band 1~6GH, the 3dB beam width is about 90o, the axial is less then 3 dB, and the VSWR is less then 2.The antenna diameter is only 110mm,realizing the aim of miniature. By measuring the model antenna, it is showed that the planar spiral antenna has the performance with wide ...
