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 difficult and lossy. At the second resonance the resistance is modest, but the rapid change of reactance limits the bandwidth to a few percent. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## 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 az

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

## Abstract The bandwidth of a resonant quadrifilar helix antenna (QHA) is shown to be strongly dependent on the design of the feed network. In this paper, we compare the impedance and radiation‐pattern performance of two QHAs driven by different feed arrangements. A qualitative explanation for the
