摘要：

A folded printed quadrifilar helical antenna (FPQHA) with an integrated and compact feeding network is proposed. The axial length of the proposed antenna is miniaturized of about 54.7% than the conventional PQHA by folding the helix arms into several elements. A T-junction power divider combining with two Wilkinson power dividers is utilized to feed the antenna. A fabricated prototype of the FPQHA using the compact feeding network is presented. The measured positive gain bandwidth covers 380-430 MHz with the reflection coefficient below -20 dB, axial ratio below 1.5 dB and a half-power beamwidth of about 120 degrees Details of the proposed antenna design and experimental results are presented and discussed.
