  • Abstract
    In this paper, the tapered spherical helix is analyzed in detail, and it is shown that the electric field of its resonant mode closely follows that of a sphere composed of material obeying the Drude dispersion relationship. An analytical formula is derived relating the inductance of the spherical helix to the plasma frequency of the spherical material mimicked by the helix.
