  • Miniaturization of Compact Quadrifilar Helix Antennas for Telemetry, Tracking and Command Applications
    Progress In Electromagnetics Research, 2016
    Co-Authors: Alexandru Takacs, Herve Aubert, Daniel Belot, Hubert Diez
    Abstract:

    This paper addresses the miniaturization of Quadrifilar Helix Antennas (QHAs) for space applications (VHF Telemetry, Tracking and Command). Several shape miniaturization techniques were presented and the impact of height reduction is quantified in terms of radiation pattern, gain and phase center. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that Compact Quadrifilar Helix Antennas (CQHAs) with a height reduced up to 70% reported to the reference QHA can be designed. By using an appropriate optimization method the impact of the miniaturization on CQHA performances in terms of radiation pattern and polarization purity can be minimized. Moreover the impact on the gain is quantified and design rules are reported. Finally a closed-form expression for estimating the gain of CQHAs from the height reduction factor is found.

  • Miniaturisation technique for quadrifilar helix antenna
    Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation, 2012
    Co-Authors: Alexandru Takacs, Tonio Idda, Herve Aubert, Hubert Diez
    Abstract:

    We address a new miniaturization technique for quadrifilar helix antennas (QHAs). An innovative combination of sinusoidal and modified fractal curves is proposed in order to design compact QHAs compatible with space application size constraints. Relative size reductions in the range of 30%-80% can be obtained without a major degradation of most antenna performances. A comparative study is performed in order to highlight the capabilities of the proposed miniaturization technique.

  • PCS antenna design: The challenge of miniaturization
    IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine, 2001
    Co-Authors: Anja K. Skrivervik, Jean-francois Zürcher, Olaf Staub, Juan R. Mosig
    Abstract:

    PCS (personal communication system) devices have become an\nimportant part of everyday life. The pressure to design small,\nlightweight, and user-friendly mobile-communication devices has\nincreased accordingly, creating the need for optimal antennas for mobile\napplications. In this paper, we present some basic rules about\nelectrically small antennas, give clues and guidelines about efficient\nantenna miniaturization, and, finally, show some examples of miniature\nantennas developed in our laboratory for practical applications

  • PCS antenna design: The challenge of Miniaturisation
    IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium: Wireless Technologies and Information Networks APS 1999 - Held in conjunction with USNC, 1999
    Co-Authors: Olaf Staub, Jean-francois Zürcher, Anja K. Skrivervik, Juan R. Mosig
    Abstract:

    As mobile communication equipment become smaller and lighter,\nantennas must follow the trend. However, antenna size reduction is done\nat the expense of gain and bandwidth. This follows from the fact that an\nantenna is used to transform a free wave into a radiated wave. One\nunderstands easily that an antenna can perform this transformation only\nwith a poor efficiency when its size is much smaller than the\nwavelength. If the loss of gain can be, to some extent, compensated by\namplification, this is obviously not the ease for the bandwidth. For a\ngiven configuration, the design of the antenna should be done in order\nto use the maximum volume available. This maximum volume will\ntheoretically give the upper bound for both gain and bandwidth
