  • Abstract
    The equiangular spiral antenna is a frequency independent antenna. Therefore it can also be considered as a broadband antenna. In this paper we carry out a parametric study of this antenna by using the electromagnetic solver HFSS. A guideline is presented on the antenna parameters in order to optimize the bandwidth and radiation characteristics.
