Abstract

The resonant CWTHA is examined via a moment‐method simulation. The results show a very high impedance at first resonance with a narrow bandwidth and low efficiency. At second resonance, the resistance is less than an ohm, the reactance is zero, and again, the bandwidth is narrow. The azimuth patterns are not omnidirectional, but may have a dip of 10 dB or more. The simulation shows a loop‐mode cancellation of at least 140 dB. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 29: 408–410, 2001.

## Abstract The two‐turn CWTHA is analyzed from a small diameter that allows constant current, through the third resonance. Around the third resonance, and around the first resonance and below, the bandwidth is much less than 1%. The very low (or very high) values of resistance make matching diffic

The contrawound toroidal helix antenna with constant current is examined; it has an omnidirectional pattern in the toroid plane. Radiation resistance is deri¨ed for the dipole mode, and results are ¨alidated by moment-method calculations. The radiation Qs of these antennas are greater than one milli
