Abstract :
In this paper, a Compact Multi Strip Printed Quadrifilar Helix Antenna is presented. We use folded combining with meandered techniques to obtain 58% of size reduction for the axial length of the conventional PQHA. It creates also the dual frequency resonance. In addition, the gain remains positive at these two bands with a large beam width and a good circular polarization.
