  • Abstract
    The input impedance, radiation pattern, axial ratio, and power gain of a conical helix antenna with a short arm are calculated as a function of frequency, using theoretically determined current distributions. It is shown that the antenna radiates a circularly polarized wave over a frequency range ratio of about 1:1.2, having a power gain of about 7.7 dB. The experimental results are also presented.
