Abstract
In this work, a low-profile wired single-arm spiral antenna is designed with a ground plane for its possible use in vehicular applications. Measurements are carried out in the planar configuration for two different dielectrics, namely air and silicone gel substrate placed in between the antenna and the ground plane. Further, the antenna is conformed into a semi-hemispherical geometry without changing the dimensions and measurements are repeated. The result shows a dual-band behavior with an operation mainly in the L- and S-band rather than a wide-band performance observed for commonly reported spiral antenna.
