In this paper, a wide-band miniaturized Conformal conical Archimedean spiral(CCARS) antenna is proposed for Ultra wideband(UWB) communications.The CCARS antenna utilizes the vertical space instead of horizontal space significantly saving the antenna installation space. We investigate the transformation from Planar Archimedean spiral(PARS) antenna to the CCARS antenna and the antenna miniaturization technique. Due to the using of flexible dielectric substrate, the PARS antenna can be bent freely, which assures the transformation from the PARS antenna to the CCARS antenna. To realize antenna miniaturization, zigzag shape arms are applied to the PARS antenna. Moreover, the CCARS antenna has good unidirectional radiation property that avoids the using of traditional absorber-loaded back cavity. The measured results of antenna prototype indicate that the Voltage standing wave ratio(VSWR) is below 2 over the frequency range from 1.3GHz to 9GHz. The antenna gain is higher than3.4d Bi and the Front to back(F/B) ratio is better than20 d B from 2GHz to 7GHz. In addition, good radiation patterns and broad 3d B beam width are also available for the CCARS antenna.
