Abstract
A new planar, wideband feed for a slot spiral antenna is presented and tested at VHF frequencies. Radiation pattern measurements are present ed to demonstrate the performance and usefulness of this feed. In cont rast to most traditional printed spiral antenna designs, the one prese nted here incorporates a completely planar balun and feed, making it m ore attractive for conformal applications.
