Building antennas is a time-honored ham radio tradition. Shortwave antennas tend to be bulky but at VHF frequencies the antenna sizes are pretty manageable. [Fjkaan’s] 2 meter quadrifilar helicoidal ...

The quadrifilar helix antenna (QHA) has emerged as a versatile solution for modern communication systems requiring compact form factors, wide angular coverage and stable circular polarisation.

THE most widely proposed hand-held antenna for mobile satellite communication systems is the Quadrifilar Helix Antenna (QHA). The QHA is preferred to the crossed dipole and the patch for its small ...

When you think of satellite communications, you probably think of a dish. But that’s not the only option — a new device from the American University of Beruit and Stanford created a portable antenna ...

In general, this type of antenna consists of one or more conductive wires wound in a helix (like a corkscrew) around a central support mast. The new "bi-stable deployable quadrifilar helix antenna" ...

Receiving a signal from a geosynchronous satellite 22,300 miles out or a GPS satellite over 10,000 miles away is a challenge. Big gain antennas usually are necessary. But that’s just the opposite of ...

As the space industry evolves its focus from large satellites to smaller ones with the same functionality, there is a growing need for the hardware on board to shrink as well. A group of mechanical ...

Helix Geospace has launched the world’s smallest Iridium antenna, which can operate safely near the human head with minimal performance degradation. The antenna can be used for mobile handsets, ...
