All of the characteristics of the batwing rediator, which is the heart of the superturnstile antenna system, are theoretically calculated by using the Moment Method. The original type, based on this antenna, and the modified batwing antennas, types I, II and III in total of four were examined. The modified batwing antenna type I is used as a horizontally polarized wave antenna among the circularly polarized wave antennas developed by RCA in the U.S.A. as a countermeasure for the ghost phenomena, while type II is used as an antenna having wide band characteristics for IFF receiving. Type III is a combination of types I and II. The characteristics of the above stated four types of antennas are analyzed theoretically by the use of the Moment Method and the results are compared through the use of measurement. Furthermore, the matching condition is obtained on the basis of the characteristics in the cases of changing the shape of the jumper and of changing the distance between the support mast and the antenna elements.

Theoretical values of site attenuation for broadband receiving antenna or the antenna factor of broadband antenna over the frequency range from 30 MHz to 1 GHz have been calculated or measured by some researchers. For a frequency range over 1 GHz, wire antennas or horn antennas should be used. However, the theoretical site attenuation or antenna factor over 1 GHz have never yet been calculated. A CLS (Conical Log-periodic Spiral) antenna is generally used for EMC/EMI measurements in the microwave band as a broadband wire antenna for the swept frequency method. However, this antenna has the defect that its use results in the loss of polarization information. So we proposed an improved CLS antenna which has linear polarization. This new CLS antenna has another wire wound symmetrically to that of the standard CLS antenna. For this reason, we named it a double-wire CLS antenna. The double-wire CLS antenna loses no polarization information. We calculated the height pattern and the frequency characteristics of CSA (Classical Site Attenuation) for the double-wire CLS antenna when used for receiving, or used for both transmitting and receiving, as well as the antenna factor. Moreover, NSA (Normalized Site Attenuation) when the double-wire CLS antenna is used for receiving or used for both transmitting and receiving in free space were calculated.
