This paper presents the design and implementation of a circularly polarized turnstile antenna for VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) on satellite. The antenna is designed to satisfy the EIRP requirement to prevent interference as well as to fulfill the link budget based on system requirements over a wide-angle coverage. The antenna is prototyped and measured.
