Abstract
In this paper we present a new quadrifilar helix antenna designed for CubeSat applications. The quadrifilar helix antenna presented in this paper covers the UHF bandwidth between 250 MHz and 500 MHz. The antenna is fed with four ports and exhibits circular polarization as well as an acceptable gain over the desired frequency range.
