Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of a soft surface, i.e a corrugated ground plane, to replace the smooth conducting disk of the Kraus helical antenna. Thereby, the sidelobe level, the front-to-back ratio and the cross-polar performance should be improved. The reason for the latter is that reflection from the disk will not create cross-pollination.
