Frequency Independent Antennas:
Wide band antennas
Frequency independent bandwidth in octave range
Broadband antennas
Frequency independent bandwidth in the range 40:1
Multiband antennas
Antenna resonate at different frequencies.
An antenna array (or array antenna) is a set of multiple connected antennas which work together as a single antenna, to transmit or receive radio waves. The individual antenna elements are connected to a single receiver or transmitter by feedlines that feed the power to the elements in a specific phase relationship. The radio waves radiated by each individual antenna combine and superpose, adding together (interfering constructively) to enhance the power radiated in desired directions, and cancelling (interfering destructively) to reduce the power radiated in other directions. Similarly, when used for receiving, the separate radio frequency currents from the individual antennas combine in the receiver with the correct phase relationship to enhance signals received from the desired directions and cancel signals from undesired directions.
Microstrip antenna (also known as a printed antenna) usually means an antenna fabricated using microstrip techniques on a printed circuit board (PCB). They are mostly used at microwave frequencies.
In radio and electronics, an antenna (plural antennae or antennas), or aerial, is an electrical device which converts electric power into radio waves, and vice versa.[1] It is usually used with a radio transmitter or radio receiver. In transmission, a radio transmitter supplies an electric current oscillating at radio frequency (i.e. a high frequency alternating current (AC)) to the antenna's terminals, and the antenna radiates the energy from the current as electromagnetic waves (radio waves). In reception, an antenna intercepts some of the power of an electromagnetic wave in order to produce a tiny voltage at its terminals, that is applied to a receiver to be amplified.
Frequency-independent (FI) antennas are radiating structures capable of maintaining consistent impedance and pattern characteristics over multiple-decade bandwidths. Their finite size limits the lowest frequency of operation, and the finite precision of the center region bounds the highest frequency of operation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The IEEE Standard Definitions of
Terms for Antennas (IEEE Std 145–1983) ∗
defines the antenna or aerial as “means
for radiating or receiving radio waves.”
4. History
In 1954, Edwin Turnur started messing with a dipole
antenna. Instead of leaving the arms straight, he
wrapped them around each other, forming a spiral.
This was the beginning of the spiral antenna
dipole antenna spiral antenna
5. Bandwidth of the spiral antenna
Spiral antennas belong to the class of "frequency
independent" antennas; these antennas are
characterized as having a very large bandwidth.
The Bandwidth can be as high as 30:1
This means that if the lower frequency is 1 GHz, the
antenna would still be efficient at 30 GHz, and every
frequency in between.
6. Also we can say that the highest frequency is thirty times
greater then the lowest frequency
Bandwidth of the spiral antenna
Spiral antennas belong to the class of "frequency
independent" antennas; these antennas are
characterized as having a very large bandwidth.
The Bandwidth can be as high as 30:1
This means that if the lower frequency is 1 GHz, the
antenna would still be efficient at 30 GHz, and every
frequency in between.
7. Polarization of the spiral antenna
Spiral antennas are usually circularly polarized. The
spiral antenna’s radiation pattern typically has a
peak radiation direction perpendicular to the plane
of the spiral (broadside radiation).
This is a very broad beam width for circular
polarization; this is one of the features that makes
spiral antennas very useful.
A left-handed- CCW
circularly polarized wave
A right-handed- CW
circularly polarized wave
8. The Spiral Antenna has circular polarization over a wide beamwdith,
often for angular regions as wide as
.
The Half-Power Beam width (HPBW) is approximately 70-90
degrees.
Radiation Patterns
9. The radiation pattern of the Log-Periodic Spiral Antenna is approximately given
by:
Directivity 3D plot of radiation pattern
10. Input impedance
Spiral antennas have input impedance
approximately Zin≤200Ω
This figure show the input impedance of the two arms spiral
antenna is approximately constant with varying the
frequency. Research was done in [5]
14. ➢ The Archimedean spiral antenna is a popular of
frequency independent antenna . And it has two arms
Each arm of an Archimedean spiral is linearly
proportional to the angle, φ, and is described by the
following relationship
➢ Each arm of the Archimedean spiral is defined by the
equation
Where:
r1:is the inner radius of the spiral
r2 :is the outer radius of the spiral
W: is the width of each arm
S: the spacing between each turn
Archimedean Spiral Antenna
15. The low frequency operating point of the spiral is determined theoretically
by the outer radius and is given by
And the high frequency operating point is based on the inner radius giving
Where : C is the speed of light 3x10^8 m/s
16. where
η is the intrinsic impedance of free space surrounding the
antenna.
The input impedance of a self-complementary antenna
can be found using Babinet’s principle, giving by :
Archimedean spiral antenna in free space the input
impedance should be
377/2=188.5Ω.
In actual realizations of Spiral antennas the impedance
tends to be less than this, in the 100-150 Ohm range.
17. Also it is known as equiangular spiral antenna
We can define the arms of a spiral antenna using simple polar
coordinates and polar functions. The log-periodic spiral antenna,
also known as the equiangular spiral antenna, has each arm
defined by the polar function
where:
R0 = constant that controls the initial
radius of the spiral antenna
a = parameter that controls the rate at
which the spiral antenna grows with
angle

18. Axial ratio of antenna in free space
Impedance of antenna in free space
19. The parameters that effect the radiation of the spiral antenna
1.Total Length of the Spiral, or the outer radius
This determines the lowest frequency of operation for the spiral
antenna.
the highest frequency in the spiral antenna’s can be determined from the
inner radius (R0)
20. 2. Number of Turns (N) - The number of turns of the spiral
is also a design parameter. Experimentally it is found
that spirals with at least one-half turn up to 3 turns work
well, with 1.5 turns being a good number
3. The highest frequency in the spiral antenna's operating
band occurs when the innermost radius of the spiral (i.e.
where the spiral starts after the feed structure) is equal to
lambda/4 (one quarter wavelength). That is, the highest
frequency can be determined from the inner radius
21. they are commonly used on aircraft or other metallic
backed objects. As such, it is desirable to design the
antenna to be cavity-backed by some metal.
This isolates the spiral antenna from what is behind it, so
that it can be mounted on objects without worrying
about retuning the antenna.

23. Archimedean Spiral Antenna design in matlab 2016
Create and view a 2-turn Archimedean spiral antenna with a 1 mm starting radius and 40 mm outer radius.
Anten1= spiralArchimedean('Turns',2, 'InnerRadius',1e-3, 'OuterRadius',40e-3);
show(Anten1) ;
24. Applications of spiral antenna
➢ Spiral antennas are widely used in the defense industry for
sensing applications, where very wideband antennas that do
not take up much space are needed. Other applications of
spiral antennas include GPS, where it is advantageous to have
RHCP (right hand circularly polarized) antennas.
➢ Spiral arrays systems are typically used in high gain applications
such as high data rate satellite and terrestrial communication
networks also in ultra-wideband (UWB) communication
technology
➢ Spiral antenna arrays are used in military aircraft in the 1-18 GHz
range
➢ A spiral antenna transmits EM waves having a circular
polarization
➢ Spiral antennas are useful for microwave direction-finding
26. The built-in Identification Friend
or Foe (IFF) warning system
spiral antenna designed for a wide variety of aircraft applications
27. Conclusion
advantages and disadvantage
Spiral antenna: spiral antennas have wideband frequency
On the negative side, these types of antennas are difficult
to fee geometric form
spiral radiation patterns are nearly constant with frequency
Transmitter and receiver should be have same polarization
