Abstract :
The circuit and radiation characteristics of a helical antenna of square cross section with a dielectric core are studied. The effect of the core dielectric constant on the characteristics of one-, two-, and three-turn helices driven in the axial mode is examined. Comparisons between theory and measurement are included
