This paper presents a solution to reduce the feed complexity and to improve the total efficiency of X-band compact choke horn antenna with circular polarization and isoflux pattern. This kind of antenna had been designed before by our laboratory for nanosatellite applications, but it required a 4-way divider with phase shifter which generates the insertion losses and therefore a lower realized gain (RG). Among several feeds, a uniform circular helix antenna has been used here, which produces a satisfying feed without too much damage for the axial ratio (AR) and the isoflux pattern over a 400 MHz radiation bandwidth (8.0–8.4 GHz). Theoretical and experimental results show an AR lower than 5 dB and a RG higher than 0 dB at the limit of coverage, i.e. 65° whatever the azimuth angle (φ). [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
