PCB spiral antenna and feed network for ELINT applications

摘要

The present invention is directed to an integrated antenna and feed network assembly. The integrated antenna and feed network assembly includes a spiral antenna which is suitable for implementation with ELINT DF systems. The integrated antenna and feed network assembly further includes a feed network, which may include a stripline Balun feed. The feed network is electrically connected to the antenna. Further, the integrated antenna and the feed network assembly provides for integration of the antenna and the feed network into a single PCB assembly.
