An end-fed planar type spiral antenna for transmitting/receiving radio
signals includes a spiral pattern formed to have inner and outer spiral
curves turned predetermined times in a spiral shape from an arbitrary
center point in a plane; a central circle pattern formed in a part of a
central region of the spiral pattern in a circular shape; and a feed arm
pattern formed in a rectangular shape from an end of the spiral pattern
that turns predetermined times. Conductive material is patterned on a
pattern where the spiral pattern, the central circle pattern and the feed
arm pattern are overlapped. This antenna allows to design an antenna
structure capable of effectively enhancing radiation efficiency and
improving broadband characteristics by utilizing a tapered spiral
structure. Also, this antenna has an improved orientation, ensures less
limitation in height, and allows a small-size design.
