Abstract :
A novel multi-frequency quadrifilar helix antenna based on the theory of resonant quadrifilar helix antenna is presented in this paper. Triple-frequency and satisfactory antenna characteristics are achieved. The antenna has relatively compact size and hemispherical pattern with excellent circularly polarized coverage. The antenna is designed and simulated with the application of CST software which operates based on the finite integral method. The simulation results and analyses are presented
