A design of Archimedean spiral antennas applied in passive radar

Abstract

Currently, spiral antennas are widely studied and applied for both military and civilian purposes. However, ensuring that the antenna system operates effectively across a wide frequency range while still meeting gain and directionality requirements is a complex problem. In this article, the authors present the results of research and design of spiral antennas operating in the 2 to 4 GHz frequency range (S band). The analysis of operating principles, calculations, and simulations using CST 2019 software demonstrates that the antenna system operates over a broad frequency range, meeting the requirements of passive radar stations.
