Abstract :
A lightweight spiral antenna with high power handling capabilities has been designed. The spiral is formed by a copper tube embedded in a dielectric material and is backed by a lightweight cavity. The development of this antenna involved an extensive experimental and theoretical investigation which resulted in new data regarding power handling capabilities, maximum absolute gain, polarization, VSWR, beamWidth and efficiency.
