  • Abstract
    An analysis of the performance of the normal mode helical antenna for portable radio terminals, close to the human abdomen has been performed. In the VHF-band it is shown that the impedance mismatch loss is the major contributory factor to the total power loss and it must be taken into account when calculating the radiation efficiency of the antennas.
