Abstract: A relativistic magnetron with online switchable rotation direction of a circularly polarized TE11 output mode is proposed. In the device, the same cavity magnetron is adopted as the beam-wave interaction structure, the all-cavity extraction structure is adopted as the output structure, and the Helmholtz coils system is adopted as the magnetic system. In this paper, the output mode components of the device are theoretically analyzed by the mode excitation theory of all-cavity extraction structure, and the performance of the device is investigated by Particle in Cell simulation. Simulation results show that when the applied voltage is 770 kV and the applied magnetic field that has the same direction with the output microwave is 0.2 T, the device that operates at 5π/6 mode can output a right circularly polarized TE11 mode with the mode purity of more than 99%, the operating frequency of 2.35 GHz and the output power of 3.86 GW, corresponding to the power conversion efficiencyof 55.5%. When the direction of the applied magnetic field is reversed, the rotation direction of the right circularly polarized TE11 mode can be online switched to the left in the condition of keeping other performance of the device.

2.88GHz.For the lower mode with C¼0.6pF and the higher mode with C¼5pF,the effects of varying/on CP perform-ance are given in Figures4and5,respectively.The simulation results suggest that an axial ratio of less than2dB can be found when/ranges between10and25 for the lower mode and between12and16 for the higher mode.3.RECONFIGURABLE DESIGN AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTSAn antenna prototype with electrically switching was realized using a varactor diode(BB837,Siemens Semiconductor Group).For the dc bias(V0)used for controlling the varactor, its positive is connected to the feed line through a RF choke, which is composed of a high-impedance meandered microstrip line and a grounded capacitor of1nF,and the negative is directly linked to the RF ground plane,as shown in Figure1. Figure6exhibits the experimental results when V0is switched between two different values.From the measured results,it can be seen that the frequency with minimum axial ratio is1.83 GHz for the case of V0¼28V and it is2.96GHz for the case of V0¼6V.The CP bandwidths,determined by3dB axial ra-tio,are2.7and3.3%at the lower and higher CP operating fre-quencies,respectively.In addition,Figure6also demonstrates that a return loss of less than10dB is achieved within the two CP bandwidths.Therefore,the antenna can perform the dual-frequency operation with a frequency ratio of about1.6through switching.The radiation patterns at1.83and2.96GHz are measured and their results are plotted in Figure7.Broadside radiation with good CP performance is observed for each operating fre-quency,and the polarization in the plane of z>0is left-handed. The peak gain at1.83GHz is about3.3dBic and it is merely 0.2dB lower than that at2.96GHz.4.CONCLUSIONA design for circularly polarized annular slot antennas with switchable frequency has been presented.Only one diode is required in the reconfigurable design.With controlling the dc bias of the diode,the antenna can perform dual-frequency opera-tion with a high frequency ratio.Moreover,the antenna at the two operating frequencies has almost the same radiation pattern, polarization performance,and peak gain.REFERENCES1.Y.K.Jung and B.Lee,Dual-band circularly polarized microstripRFID reader antenna using metamaterial branch-line coupler,IEEE Trans Antennas Propag60(2012),786–791.2.Nasimuddin,Z.N.Chen,and X.Qing,Dual-band circularly-polar-ized S-shaped slotted patch antenna with a small frequency ratio, IEEE Trans Antennas Propag58(2010),2112–2115.3.J.Y.Sze,C.I.G.Hsu,and J.J.Jiao,CPW-fed circular slot antennawith slit back-patch for2.4/5GHz dual-band operation,Electron Lett42(2006),563–564.4.Y.L.Zhao,Y.C.Jiao,G.Zhao,Z.B.Weng,and F.S.Zhang,Anovel polarization reconfigurable ring-slot antenna with frequency agility,Microwave Opt Technol Lett51(2009),540–543.5.N.Jin,F.Yang,and Y.Rahmat-Samii,A novel patch antenna withswitchable slot(PASS):dual-frequency operation with reversed cir-cular polarizations,IEEE Trans Antennas Propag54(2006), 1031–1034.6.T.Y.Lee and J.S.Row,Frequency reconfigurable circularly polar-ized slot antennas with wide tuning range,Microwave Opt Technol Lett53(2011),1501–1505.V C2013Wiley Periodicals,Inc.DESIGN OF BROADBAND AND HIGH-EFFICIENCY CLASS-E AMPLIFIER WITH pHEMT USING A NOVEL LOW-PASS MICROSTRIP RESONATOR CELLMohsen Hayati1,2and Ali Lotfi11Electrical Engineering Department,Faculty of Engineering,Razi University,Tagh-E-Bostan,Kermanshah-67149,Iran; Corresponding author:mohsen_hayati@2Computational Intelligence Research Centre,Razi University,Tagh-E-Bostan,Kermanshah-67149,IranReceived31August2012ABSTRACT:In this article,a high-efficient class-E amplifier design with low voltage and broadband characteristics using a novel Front Coupled Tapered Compact Microstrip Resonant Cell is presented.The proposed micorstrip resonator is used as the harmonic control network in order to suppress higher order harmonics,which obtained the optimized impedance matching for the fundamental and harmonics.The class-E amplifier is realized from0.7to1.8GHz,and obtained the power added efficiency of72.5–77.5%.The maximum value of Power added efficiency(PAE)is79.7%with11-dBm input power at1.5GHz.

efficiency;zero voltage switching;zero voltage derivative switching1.INTRODUCTIONThe modern wireless communication systems need to consume the power supply.The main factor in reducing the consumption of the power supply is designing a low-voltage and high-effi-ciency power amplifier[1].The switch mode power amplifier is an efficient way for solving the efficiency problem.The class-E power amplifier is a kind of the switch mode power amplifier that the transistor acts as a switch.The class-E power amplifier is tuned by a shunt capacitance.This type of the power amplifier obtained100%drain efficiency theoretically[2].The class-E amplifier’s response conditions are zero voltage switching (ZVS)and zero voltage derivative switching(ZVDS),which lead to zero power loss in the transistor.Therefore,a high-effi-ciency power amplifier is obtained[3].The shunt capacitance in the class-E power amplifier has a main roll for achieving the class-E conditions[4].The power loss in the lower frequency can be neglected,but by increasing the operation frequency,the power dissipation is increased and the ideal operation of the class-E power amplifier will be missed.The antiphase of the voltage and current wave-forms throughout the signal period,obtain the class-E power amplifier with the maximum efficiency[5].This purpose can be achieved using a wave shaping network.The conventional class-E power amplifier load resistance is very much lower than the transistor ON-resistance.This effect leads to efficiency degrada-tion and a narrowband load matching network[6].Furthermore, the transistor parasitic resistance for both the switch on-state and parasitic inductance leads to efficiency degradation in the radio frequency(RF)and microwave applications[7,8].The optimum operation of the class-E power amplifier and the solution to the mentioned drawbacks can be obtained using two main methods:namely active device selection and circuit configuration[9].The class-E amplifier has various configura-tions such as the cascade[10]and push–pull[11].The cascade class-E configurations can double the maximum permissible drain voltage,and the push–pull class-E configuration increases the output power and decrease the harmonic distortion with high efficiency.A new topology for the class-E amplifier is proposed as an inverse class-E amplifier,which has inductive reactance [12].The inverse class-E amplifier has higher load resistance and lower peak switch voltage in comparison with the class-E amplifier.Also,because of the abruption of the device output inductances,the value of the inductance in the load network is decreased.However,the inverse class-E amplifier can be used only for the small to medium power applications.Therefore,to solve this drawback,the power combining methods have been used[13].Although,this method results in obtaining the inverse class-E amplifier for higher power application,but the circuit configuration and the design procedure are complicated with the circuit size increment because of using two power amplifier circuits.The class-E power amplifier is a high-efficiency power am-plifier for the microwave application,which is implemented using the transmission line as the harmonic control network at the output of the amplifier circuit[14].Furthermore,instead of the RF choke(RFC)a section of the transmission line is used.The transmission line has been used in the class-E power amplifier using LDMOS[15],GaN HEMT[16–19],SiC MES-FET[20],and LDMOSFET[21]as the harmonic control net-work increasingly,because of the simplicity of its structure and high rejection of harmonics.Therefore,the class-E amplifier configuration and operation are the best candidates for the design of the amplifier for the modern microwave communica-tion systems[22,23].Consequently,designing of the load network as the harmonic control network for suppression of harmonics in order to obtain a high-efficiency power amplifier is the main challenge of the switch mode power amplifiers.The designing of the class-E power amplifiers using various microstrip structures has been proposed such as a defected ground structure[24],an asymmet-rical spur-line[25],and composite right/left-handed transmission lines[26].The narrowband load network and low efficiency remain as the main challenge to the class-E power amplifier using the conventional microstrip transmission line[27].A compact microstrip resonant cell(CMRC)is a one-dimen-sional photonic band gap incorporating the microstrip transmis-sion line,which is,first,proposed in[28].The CMRC structure exhibits high rejection of the harmonics with the compact circuit size in comparison with the conventional micorstrip transmission lines.Therefore,it is used for the linearization and efficiency in-crement of the microwave power amplifiers[29,30].The appli-cation of the conventional CMRC is limited to obtain a high-ef-ficiency switch mode amplifier,as a result of the high insertion loss in the passband and restricted stopband.The front coupled tapered CMRC(FCTCMRC)is proposed in[31]for the implan-tation of a low-passfilter with high and wide rejection in the stopband with the compact circuit size in comparison with the conventional CMRC.Therefore,it can be widely used for designing the high-efficiency and broadband switch mode power amplifier because of high and wide suppression of harmonics.In this article,the harmonic suppression of the class-E ampli-fier using a novel FCTCMRC as the harmonic controller net-work is explored.A class-E amplifier with higher efficiency at a wider bandwidth in comparison with the conventional amplifiers is achieved.The proposed class-E power amplifier is designed and simulated for a frequency of1.5GHz using the micorstrip resonator structure.The measurement results of the proposed power amplifier validate our design procedure and simulation results.2.CLASS-E AMPLIFIER FUNDAMENTAL AND DESIGN THEORY2.1.Class-E Amplifier OperationThe basic circuit configuration of the class-E amplifier and switch waveforms are shown in Figures1(a)and1(b),respec-tively.The class-E amplifier consists of the switch device,shunt capacitance,series-tuned load network L-C,and an ideal RFC. The switch-on duty ratio is assumed to be50%in designing the class-E amplifier.This value of the duty ratio leads to optimum operation of the class-E amplifier for obtaining high efficiency [32].For an ideal class-E operation,three requirements for the drain voltage and current should be met[2]:1.The rise of the voltage across the transistor at turn-offshould be delayed until the transistor is off.2.The drain voltage should be brought back to zero at thetime of the transistor turn-on.3.The slope of the drain voltage should be zero at the timeof the transistor turn-on.Therefore,the class-E power amplifier is constructed based on two conditions as ZVS and ZVDS.These conditions are as follows:v s hðÞjh¼p¼0;(1)dv s hðÞd hh¼p¼0;(2)where v s(y)is the switch voltage,and y¼x t.The quality fac-tor of the output series resonant circuit is assumed infinite. Therefore,the output current is sinusoidal asi oðhÞ¼I m sinðhþuÞ:(3)In the time interval0y<p,the switch device is in the on-state,therefore,using Kirchhoff’s current law at the switch,we havei sðhÞ¼I

zero when the transistor is in the on-state.The reactance for all harmonics is negative and comparable in magnitude to the fundamental fre-quency load resistance.The ideal class-E amplifier requirements are difficult to meet.So,we often only tuned the second and third harmonics to get the suboptimum class-E power amplifier solution.The analysis is performed considering just the output network behavior,thus neglecting input signal required to oper-ate the active device as an ideal switch.The optimal fundamental load by the Fourier-series expan-sion analysis in[7]used for achieving the perfect class-E opera-tion can be determined asZ E;f0¼0:28x C Pe49 :(8)This impedance is inductive.On the other hand,for the ideal operation of the class-E power amplifier the impedances at the higher order harmonics are infiniteZ E;fn¼1;for n!2:(9)From(8)the nominal class-E amplifier shunt capacitance C is defined byC¼0:1836x0R:(10)In order to achieve the maximum operation frequency of the class-E amplifier,the device output capacitance should be equal to Eq.(10).The matching network for the class-E power ampli-fier using a low-pass Chebyshev-form impedance transformer is proposed in[7].Therefore,the synthesis of the load network is done using a short circuit,and open circuit stubs instead of lumped capacitors in the load network for unwanted harmonics.2.2.Design of a Class-E Amplifier Using a pHEMTAchieving the optimum load is the main factor to obtain high efficiency when designing the class-E power amplifier.On the other hand,the optimum load is varied with the operating fre-quency as in Eq.(8).Therefore,designing of the load network, which can operate in the wide frequency range,is needed for designing the class-E power amplifier with the optimum condi-tions.The maximum operation frequency of the class-E power amplifier is restricted by the shunt capacitance.The shunt capac-itance consists of the transistor output capacitance and the exter-nal capacitance.Thus,the optimum operating frequency of the class-E power amplifier is achieved by selecting a transistor with lower output capacitance.On the other hand,the power loss is caused by ON-resistance of the transistor[33].Therefore, the active device with lower ON-resistance is preferred for designing the high-efficiency class-E power amplifier.We selected an ATF-34143pHEMT because of its lower ON-resist-ance and lower shunt parasitic capacitance,which provides lower power dissipation and optimum operation frequency using external capacitance,respectively.The circuit topology of the conventional class-E amplifier is shown in Figure2(a).It is designed using the design procedure,which is presented in[2, 3].The value of elements for an ideal class-E power amplifier is tabulated in Table1.In the design of the class-E power ampli-fier,it is assumed that the value of the DC-feed is infinitive,but in real implementation this value isfinite,and we used the half wavelength microstrip transmission line for the DC-feed.In the conventional class-E amplifier,using lumped elements, the second harmonic is located within the pass band.Therefore, the bandwidth is limited to one octave.In order to solve this drawback,one way is designing a multiple matching network for various bands and using switching element.This way leads to complexity of the amplifier circuit and degradation of the efficiency.The use of the micorstrip transmission line is a low-cost and simple way for designing the class-E amplifier with wide band and high-efficiency characteristics.We used the design proce-dure in Section2.1and designed the matching network for the amplifier as shown in Figure2(b).The values of the transmis-sion lines dimensions are given in Table2.The class-E ampli-fier is designed on RT/Duroid5880,a substrate with dielectric constant of2.2,height of15l l,and loss tangent of0.0009.Figure2Idealized class-E power amplifier:(a)lumped elements

in the stopband.This microstrip structure exhibits bandstop characteristics and slow wave effects,which are used in the stopband extension and the circuit size reduction,respectively.The schematic and equivalent circuit of the resonator is shown in Figures 3(a)and 3(b),respectively.The proposed FCTCMRC has symmetrical topology.Therefore,the even–odd mode [34]can be used to simplify the analysis as shown in Figures 3(c)and 3(d).Consequently,theresonant condition for the odd-mode in Figure 3(c)is obtained by equating the input admittance Y o in of the proposed resonator to zero yields:Z 112x C 1ÀZ 1tan h 1 ÀZ 2tan h 2Z 1þtan h 12x C 1¼0:(11)Using the similar procedure,the even-mode resonant frequencies areobtained by equating the even admittance Y e in to zero as follows:Z 2tan h 1þZ 1tan h 2¼0:(12)The transmission zeros of the equivalent circuit for the proposed FCTCMRC,which is shown in Figure 3(a),is obtained whenY o in ¼Y ein asZ 2sin 2h 2þZ 1sin 2h 1¼cos 2h 1x C 1:(13)Therefore,the resonator characteristics for tuning transmission zeroes in the stopband can be achieved by the length and width of the tapered cells as shown in Figures 4(a)and 4(b).The pro-posed structure is optimized by an EM-simulator (ADS).The obtained dimensions are as follows:L t1¼2:58;L 2¼1:94;L 3¼2:7;W t1¼2:71;W t2¼5:6;W 1¼0:1;W 2¼0:56;L 3¼0:75;L f ¼2:36;W f ¼0:25all are in millimeter ðmm Þ:TABLE

fabricated,and the measurement is performed using an Agilent N5230A Network Analyzer.The simulation and measurement results of the proposed FCTCMRC are shown in Figure 4(c).As it is shown,it has an attenuation level À43and À33.1dB at 3.0and 4.5GHz,respectively.Therefore,the high suppression for the second and third har-monics is obtained.The insertion loss from DC to 2.39GHz is lower than À0.1dB.The simulation of the input impedance of the proposed CMRC for the fundamental and harmonics is shown in Figure 4(d).As it is observed,the harmonic impedan-ces are relatively open in comparison with the fundamental im-pedance.Consequently,it can be used as the matching network with high performance and low circuit complexity.4.CIRCUIT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATIONThe highly efficient and compact size class-E amplifier is designed and implemented for a 1.5-GHz band using an ATF-34143pHEMT.The proposed circuit is simulated using an Agi-lent’s Advanced Design System (ADS),and fabricated on an RT/Duroid 5880substrate.The active device is biased at V d ¼3V and V g ¼À0.7V.The FCTCMRC is used as the harmonic control network (HCN)at the output of the active device.The proposed HCN absorbed the parasitic reactance and capacitance of the active device.Therefore,it does not need to any lumped elements in series or parallel with the transistor to compensate the parasitic elements.The circuit schematic diagram of the designed class-E amplifier is shown in Figure 5(a).Moreover,the photograph of the fabricated circuit is shown in Figure 5(b).The RFC is realized using the microstrip transmission line (TLb2)with the quarter wavelength at a frequency of 1.5GHz.The input matching elements consist of two series and parallel open stubs.The dimensions of the tapered cells and transmission lines in the HCN are tuned in order to optimize harmonic termi-nation in the implemented amplifier circuit.The design and implementation of the output matching networks using the FCTCMRC as low-pass topology has been done from 0.7to 1.8GHz.The voltage and current waveforms of the designed class-E amplifier are shown in Figure 5(c).The switch is open for the time interval,0.2–0.4ns and the current through it is near zero.The switch is closed during the time interval 0.6–0.8ns,and the voltage across it is near to zero.The class-E ZVS and ZVDS conditions in the switch turn-off state are obtained.Therefore,the high-efficiency class-E amplifier is achieved.The input signal is generated using an Agilent E4433B signal generator,and the measurement is done by an E4440A PSA se-ries spectrum analyzer.The simulated and measured output power and gain for P in ¼11dBm (input power)are shown in Figure 6(a).The maximum output power at 1.5GHz with P in ¼11dBm is 25.3dBm,and the related gain is 14.3dB.The con-ventional class-E amplifier without CMRC has an output power of 18.5dBm and gain of 7.5dB.The class-E amplifier using CMRC has 36.7%output power improvement in comparison with the one without CMRC.The simulation and measurement results for the PAE at P in ¼11dBm (input power)is shown as a function of the operating frequency in Figure 6(b).The highest value of PAE at a fre-quency of 1.5GHz was 79.7%.The value of the PAE is 69.1%for the conventional class-E amplifier without CMRC.There-fore,the proposed class-E amplifier using the novel CMRC has 15.34%PAE improvement in comparison with the one without CMRC.The output power of the conventional class-E amplifier is decreased as the operating frequency is increased.As shown in Figure 6(a),this decrement is considerable when the operating frequency is more than 1.2GHz.Therefore,the conventional class-E amplifier has a drawback for the broadband applications.The designed class-E amplifier has 25.6%circuit size reduction in comparison with the conventional class-E amplifier.5.CONCLUSIONThe class-E amplifier with high efficiency and broadband char-acteristics has been designed and implemented.A novel and simple load-matching technique for the low-voltage microwave class-E amplifier using a front-coupled taperedcompactFigure 5The pHEMT class-E amplifier.(a)Circuit configuration.(b)A photograph of

am-plifier achieved an output power of 25.3dBm,a power added efficiency of 79.7%,and a gain of 7.5dB at input power of 11dBm.It has high-efficiency performance over a significant band-width form 0.7to 1.8GHz (88%).The proposed compact micro-strip resonant cell as the harmonic control network exhibited 15.34%improvement in PAE and 25.6%reduction in the circuit size in comparison with the conventional class-E amplifier.The extremely low insertion loss at the fundamental frequency and size reduction characteristics can be used in the design of the class-E amplifier with higher output power and smaller size,which are required in the broadband application.REFERENCES1.S.C.Cripps,Advanced techniques in RF power amplifiers design,Artech House,Norwood,MA,2002.2.N.O.Sokal and

在圆极化阵列无线中,缝隙波导天线常采用集中式馈电结构,波导馈电网络和缝隙天线采用一体化设计和加工,具有结构简单,加工容易,结构强度高,高效率和功率容量大等优点。

A Novel Dual-Band Circularly-Polarized Wide-BeamQuadrifilar Helix AntennaXudong Bai, Di Yang, Jingjing Tang, Junping Geng, Ronghong Jin, Xianling Liang* Department of Electronic Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, 200240, P. R. ChinaE-mail:baixudong@Abstract—The satellite communication systems and satellite navigation systems usually require the antenna to provide compact size, wide beam, circular polarization and high gain at low elevation. Based on these needs, a new type of dual-band wide beamwidth quadrifilar helix antenna (QHA) is designed. The available dual-band is achieved by putting two similar antenna structures operated at different frequency bands in an inner and outer coaxial way, and fed by a split coax balun. A 90° self-phased structure is formed through the quadrifilar helix characteristic to obtain a wide beam and good circular polarization performance. Experimental results of the fabricated antenna show that, the measured results are consistent with the simulated ones, and the antenna can provide good wide-beam circular polarization characteristics in both frequency bands.I.INTRODUCTIONWith the development of GPS and SNS, antennas with dual-band even triple-band are required for many applications. But it is difficult for quadrifilar helix antenna (QHA) to cover the multi-band because of its structural features. Planar spiral antenna can get a particularly wide frequency band due to the use of self-complementary structure [1]. As for the single-arm helix antenna, the bandwidth can be enhanced by increasing or decreasing the pitch angle. Resonant QHA, because of its narrow band, cannot use the regulation method of adjusting the pitch angle to achieve the dual-band or multi-band.References [2-4] use several arms resonant at different frequencies instead of a single one to obtain the dual-band or multi-band, and get a 90° phase shift through the feed network; but this structure has the following limitations: Firstly, when the operation frequency is very low, the feed network needs a large space, thus the antenna will be seriously restricted by the reference ground. Secondly, when the several operation bands are farther apart, the feed network is difficult to achieve the 90° phase shift in a relatively wide band range. Meanwhile, since the length gap of the radiation arms resonant at different frequencies is very large; it is hard to find a suitable combination of the arms.In this paper, a novel dual-band wide-beam quadrifilar helix antenna for satellite communication and navigation systems is designed, the available dual-band is achieved by putting two similar antenna structures operated at different frequency bands in an inner and outer coaxial way, and the antenna is fed by a split coax balun. A 90° self-phased structure is formed through the quadrifilar helix characteristic to obtain a wide beam and good circular polarization performance.II.ANTENNA STRUCTUREFig.1 shows the configuration of the proposed antenna. Two similar antenna structures operated at different frequency bands are fixed in an inner and outer coaxial way. The antenna is feeded by the split coax balun, the λ/4 long balun slots isolate opposite elements from one another at the feed point. Both ends of the helical elements are shorted to the sheath of the balun, a 90° self-phased structure is formed through the quadrifilar helix characteristic to obtain a wide beam and good circular polarization performance. To obtain the 90° phase shift in the currents, the elements of one bifilar helix are adjusted longer than resonance, while the other is adjusted shorter. The resonance length of each volute is λ/2, and the antenna is operating in UHF band and S-band respectively. The outer structure is resonant in the UHF band, and each volute is 1/2 turn; the axial length of the outer volutes is L=68.8mm, and the radius of one outer bifilar helix is D1=36mm, the other is D2=36mm. The inner structure is resonant in the S-band, and each volute is 3/4 turn; the axial length of the inner volutes is l=42.8mm, and the radius of one inner bifilar helix is d1=23mm, the other is d2=22mm.(a) Side view (b) Top view(c) 3D-viewFig.1 Geometry of proposed antenna.978-1-4673-0462-7/12/$31.00 ©2012 IEEEIII. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONTo verify the proposed antenna design, a prototype antenna is fabricated, as shown in Fig.2. The simulated and measured return loss versus frequency is shown in Fig.3. It is observed that the measured return loss is below -10dB in both frequency bands (<-11 dB in UHF-band and <-15 dB in S-band). Fig.4 gives the measured and simulated radiation patterns at the center frequencies of both bands, the antenna shows a wide angular coverage of more than 130°, and the gains at both bands are about 5 dBi. The measured and simulated AR is plotted in Fig.5. It shows that the AR is below 3dB when theta varies from -67° to 70° at the center frequency of UHF band, and the AR is below 3dB when theta vary from -62° to 58° at the center frequency of S-band.Fig.2 Photograph of the test QHAFig.3 Simulated and measured reflection coefficient.(a) Center frequency in UHF band(b) Center frequency in S-bandFig.4 Measured and simulated radiation patterns(a) Center frequency in UHF band(b) Center frequency in S-bandFig.5 Measured and simulated axial ratioIV. CONCLUSIONA novel dual-band wide-beam quadrifilar helix antenna for satellite communication and navigation systems is presented in this paper. The antenna has a good impedance bandwidth (S 11<-10dB) in both frequency bands. The antenna gains are about 5dBi in both frequency bands, and the 3dB beamwidth is more than 130°. On the whole, the antenna can provide good wide-beam circular polarization characteristics in both frequency bands.A CKNOWLEDGEMENTThis work was supported by “973” (2009CB320403), the Natural Science Foundation of Shanghai under Grant (10ZR1416600), the Doctoral Fund of Ministry of Education of China under Grant (20090073120033), the National Science and Tec hnology Major Project of the Ministry of Science (2011ZX03001-007-03), the National Science Fund for Creative Research Groups under Grant (60821062) and the Scientific Research F oundation for the Returned Overseas Chinese Scholars, State E ducation Ministry.R EFERENCES[1] Jia Lao, Ronghong Jin and Junping Geng, “An Equiangular SpiralAntenna with Parabolic Back-Cavity,” Microwave and Optical Technology Letters. 2008.[2] WenYi Qin, JingHui Qiu, Qi Wang, “A Novel Multi-frequencyQuadrifilar Helix Antenna,” IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society international Symposium. 2005(1B): 467-470.[3] M.
