Abstract
In this paper, we propose an aircraft on-glass antenna for FM radio reception. To obtain broad matching bandwidth, we employed a multiple loop as the basic antenna structure, and the shape of the loops mimics the frame of a window in order to ensure pilots' field of view as large as possible. The detailed design parameters of the multi-loop structure were determined using a Pareto genetic algorithm with a full wave EM simulation tool. The optimized on-glass antenna was built and installed on a Korean utility helicopter (KUH) The measurement results showed a half power matching bandwidth of about 63.3 %, average vertical bore-sight gain of about -12.98 dBi in the FM band.
