Abstract :
An Archimedean two-wire square spiral antenna is studied numerically by the spectral domain method. Complete antenna characteristics including input impedance, radiation efficiency, radiation pattern, and axial ratio are computed and presented. The goal of the authors´ work is to design a microstrip spiral antenna operating at 8.0 GHz.<>
