Abstract

The cross antenna is a medium gain and circular polarization structure made of a conductor or strip line over a ground plane, following a cross contour of four or more branches. One end is feed by a generator and the other one is charged with a load impedance. This paper presents a theoretical and experimental analysis of an eight arms cross antenna, loaded with four different impedances. The theoretical study is made via the computational solution of Pocklington's equation applied to the structure; experimental results are obtained over an antenna of a 12 AWG wire over a ground plane, working in 3.2 GHz. We present radiation efficiency, gain, field pattern, and axial rate results.
