Abstract
Radiation properties of conical log-spiral antennas (CLSA) conformal on dielectric cones are analyzed by using the hybrid finite element and boundary integral equation method (FE-BI) in the paper. Firstly the radiation patterns of CLSA conformal on different dielectric cones and the ordinary CLSA are compared at the same geometry parameters and frequency. Then the influence of the spiral wrap angle and cone angle on the radiation of dielectric conical antennas are discussed. A design of geometry parameters of the dielectric CLSA with best radiation performance are finally obtained based on numerical simulations under the given dielectric parameters.
