A quadrifilar helical antenna includes a conical supporting medium, a feed network, and four sets of antenna composite elements. Each set of antenna composite element includes at least one short-circuit helical arm and at least one open-circuit helical arm. The short-circuit helical arm and the open-circuit helical arm in each set of antenna composite element are sequentially wound on an outer wall of the conical supporting medium in one winding direction. In an axial direction of the conical supporting medium, a projection length of the short-circuit helical arm is greater than that of the open-circuit helical arm in each set of antenna composite element. The four sets of antenna composite elements are respectively coupled to a feeding point of the feed network for feeding, and the short-circuit helical arms in the four sets of antenna composite elements are in short-circuit connection. The antenna provided by embodiments of the present disclosure can efficiently improve the gain and gain bandwidth of the antenna under the condition that total occupation space is limited.

Disclosed is a Cassegrain microwave antenna, which comprises a radiation source, a first metamaterial panel used for radiating an electromagnetic wave emitted by the radiation source, and a second metamaterial panel having an electromagnetic wave convergence feature and used for converting into plane wave the electromagnetic wave radiated by the first metamaterial panel. Employment of the principle of metamaterial for manufacturing the antenna allows the antenna to break away from restrictions of conventional concave lens shape, convex lens shape, and parabolic shape, thereby allowing the shape of the Cassegrain microwave antenna to be panel-shaped or any shape as desired, while allowing for reduced thickness, reduced size, and facilitated processing and manufacturing, thus providing beneficial effects of reduced costs and improved gain effect.

A front feed microwave antenna, which comprises a radiation source, a first metamaterial panel used for radiating an electromagnetic wave emitted by the radiation source, a second metamaterial panel, and a reflective panel affixed to the back of the first metamaterial panel. The electromagnetic wave is emitted via the first metamaterial panel, refracted by entering the second metamaterial panel, reflected by the reflective panel, and finally re-refracted by reentering the second metamaterial panel, then finally parallel-emitted.
