COTS and custom designed cavity-backed spiral antennas cover the frequency range from 0.5 to 42 GHz and provide wideband performance with left or right-hand circular polarisation.
Steatite spiral antennas provide broad beamwidth with a low squint, smooth radiation patterns and purity of circular polarisation. Typical airborne and ground-based applications include 360° direction finding, spectrum management, RWR, and ESM. Steatite provides custom designed spiral antennas and if required, integrate lensed radomes to improve performance.
