Abstract
Several methods to reduce the axial length of a printed quadrifilar helix antenna (PQHA) are presented and compared. Using variable pitch angle techniques and different meander techniques, the axial length of the conventional PQHA is reduced by 35% making it practical for implementation on a handheld terminal.
