Abstract

In this paper, a UHF cavity-backed spiral antenna for partial discharge diagnosis is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of two-arm Archimedean spiral, a cavity, and a balun for feeding. The spiral antenna is designed for 0.3-1.5 GHz operating frequency. Two spiral arms of the proposed antenna are fed by a microstrip tapered-balun. In order to enhance the gain, the cavity is located in the back side of the spiral pattern. The proposed antenna is designed and simulated using CST Microwave Studio. The designed antenna is also fabricated and tested to validate performance. The measured radiation patterns are directional to the +z-axis and measured peak gain is 9.92 dBi.
