TL;DR: In this article, a backfire bifilar helical antenna with a resistor is proposed to improve the radiation characteristics of the antenna, which achieves an excellent front-to-back ratio and axial ratio, while maintaining inherent absolute gain.
Abstract: In order to improve the radiation characteristics of a backfire bifilar helical antenna, a means of terminating the arm ends with a resistor is numerically and experimentally investigated. Owing to the reduction of reflected current, the present backfire helix realises an excellent front-to-back ratio and axial ratio, while maintaining inherent absolute gain.
