“…This kind of feeding method leads to the high‐profile antenna and it also causes difficulties in antenna assembly. Many efforts have been made to feed the spiral antennas in the planar plane, including Dyson‐style balun, coplanar waveguide feed, and parallel‐plane perpendicular current feed . Although good performance can be achieved, these designs typically require more space for feeding circuit and the antenna's footprint is therefore bigger in comparsion with the center‐fed spiral antenna.…”

This article presents a broadband circularly polarized two‐arm Archimedean spiral antenna with a novel simple feeding method. Contrary to the conventional spiral antenna excited by a vertically or horizontally balun, the presented design is directly fed by a coxial cable with a planar feeding section optimized to provide a broadband input impedance matching. An antenna prototype has been fabricated and measured to validate the concept. Measured results of reflection coefficient and axial ratio show a good performance over a frequency range from 1.0 to 3.5 GHz, equivalent to ~111.1%. Within this band, the antenna prototype exhibits bidirectional radiation with broadside gain values of better than 3.6 dBic.

“…The planar spiral antennas have many advantages like great performance on circular polarization, easy impedance matching, and superior radiation efficiency [13].The major disadvantage of the technique being that its bandwidth is limited in circular polarisation. The vertical feeding structure has several demerits few being long length, inconsistent with the requirements of the low-profile spiral antenna geometry poor radiation behaviour, limited bandwidth [14].…”

The field of antenna's has progressed rapidly in the recent years it can certainly be considered as the main driving force behind the advancements being accomplished in the field of communications technology specifically wireless. This paper deals with the spiral antennas and their applications in various fields their properties which on further optimisation have lead to several inventions. The spiral antenna has several advantages over the other antenna's namely easy impedance matching, superior radiation efficiency, high spectral efficiency, consistent gain, high bandwidth aids in wireless communication and their major merit being they are frequency independent hence they find their application in various fields. The design optimisation is another main issue which largely determines the performance of an antenna similarly in spiral antenna also the variation in no of turns changing the width of its arm is helpful in producing best results. The following paper gives you the insight of developments done in the field of spiral antenna and the important conclusions which can be drawn from them for further use.

“…15 Most researchers have focused on the smaller size of the planar spiral antenna, therefore, there are many attempts to feed spiral antennas through planar feeding from the terminations on the edge. Hence, conventional balun in the third dimension is replaced by planar balun, for example, the antenna proposed in 16 is fed by Dyson-style balun and both were incorporated into a multilayer structure.…”

An ultra-wideband unidirectional circularly polarized planar self-complementary and compact Archimedean square spiral antenna is proposed in this paper. Compared to the conventional center-fed or verticallyconnected coaxial line spiral antennas, the proposed antenna has a completely planar feed structure. The traditional impedance transformer (balun) in the third dimension is moved to the planar plane based on a wideband microstrip line to coplanar stripline transition to realize a completely planar spiral antenna. This impedance transformer is integrated with the spiral antenna to achieve a planar structure and to adapt the impedance into a conventional 50 Ω coaxial cable. The performance of the proposed antenna is simulated and measured. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 90 × 90 × 1.6 mm 3 on an FR4 substrate and can yield a large −10 dB impedance bandwidth ranging from 2.14 to 9.8 GHz which is equivalent to a fractional bandwidth of 102.13% with unidirectional radiation patterns. The VSWR is less than two in the operating bandwidth and the axial ratio (AR) is less than 3 dB in the frequency range of 1-8 GHz. The simulated radiation efficiency ranges between 20% and 80%. The characteristics of the proposed antenna make it suitable for ground-penetrating radar applications and many others.
