1. An electrical connector for connecting one or more conductors disposed on a stripline to a spiral antenna having one or more dipole conductors disposed on a substrate, the antenna including a housing having a base and a sidewall for supporting the substrate, comprising:

  • a center post having first and second ends, and a cylindrical aperture, the substrate secured to the first end of the center post, the second end thereof secured to the base of said housing;

    a stripline contact snubber supported in an end of the cylindrical aperture adjacent the substrate for receiving said stripline; and

    one or more resistive/capacitive contacts, each of said contacts having a first portion and a second portion extending from said first portion, the second portion compressed between said contact snubber and one of said dipole conductors and in abutting relation therewith for ensuring RF continuity between said stripline and said spiral antenna.
