Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0427654A1] The present device relates to a novel antenna structure offering a near hemispherical radiating pattern and capable of offering a relatively wide pass band so as to be able to clear therein two neighbouring sub-bands or else a single, wide transmission band. <??>The antenna is of the type comprising a quadrifilar helix (11) consisting of two bifilar helices arranged orthogonally and excited in phase quadrature, and includes at least one second quadrifilar helix (12) coaxial and electromagnetically coupled with the said first quadrifilar helix (11). <??>Preferred application to L-band communications between geostationary satellites or in transit with mobiles equipped with such antennas. <IMAGE>
