Abstract:
A square-spiral strip antenna is designed considering the procedure used to obtain log-periodic antennas. Simulation results of the new design are compared with those of the well known and widely used Archimedean spiral antenna in terms of the frequency dependency. The effect of dielectric substrate used to support the antennas is also investigated.
