Abstract :
A compact and precision direction finding antenna over a wideband is introduced. The cardioid radiation patterns have been achieved, especially a sharp null is obtained. Because this antenna is printed on cheap PCB with very thin thickness and adhered to the surface of the foam cylinder, it is low-cost and easy to manufacture, so it will find wide use in direction finding.
