【简 介】:Low cost, high performance Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas are in demand
for portable devices. The effects of partial dielectric loading and physical volume (height
and diameter) are very important factors in antenna design. Parameter tradeoffs have a
direct bearing on antenna pattern and therefore the overall usability of the system. This
presentation covers several aspects of small Quadrifilar Helical Antennas (QHA) relative
to portable GPS applications.
