  • Abstract
    In order to improve the radiation characteristics of a backfire bifilar helical antenna, a means of terminating the arm ends with a resistor is numerically and experimentally investigated. Owing to the reduction of reflected current, the present backfire helix realises an excellent front-to-back ratio and axial ratio, while maintaining inherent absolute gain.
