This is an Ultra-wideband Log Spiral Antenna with a main frequency range of 800MHz to ~6GHz and beyond. The antenna is low-gain(omni-directional) circularly polarised. It is provided with an SMA connector and suction mounts for attachment to RF transparent surfaces such as glass.
The larger version of this antenna has been professionally measured by Antenna Test Lab in their 3D Anechoic Chamber.
Data presented here(except VSWR) is from the larger antenna. The antenna as simulated in OpenEMS It is expected that this antenna will have similar performance.
Dimensions :- 160mm x 113mm (6.3″ x 4.5″).

The antenna provides Left-Hand Circular Polarization in one broadside direction and Right-Hand Circular Polarization in the opposite direction. Marking is provided on each side of the antenna to show the direction of polarizations radiated in that direction. The animation below shows the azimuth beam pattern over frequency.

This antenna is suitable for a wide range of applications. The supplied suction mounts make it particularly useful for occasions when it is not possible to erect a large outdoor antenna, or where an ad-hoc needs to be setup quickly.
