We study a composite-antenna-structure (CAS) having high electrical and mechanical performances that we have designed and fabricated. The CAS, consisting of a glass/epoxy face sheet and a honeycomb core, acts as a basic mechanical structure, in which a spiral antenna type is embedded. To increase the intensity, a carbon fiber plate is used as a bottom sheet. This structure of the 0.5 ∼ 2 GHz band has a gain of 5 ∼ 9 dBi with circular polarization characteristics and reflection loss below -10 dB within the desired frequency band.
