Axial-mode elliptical helical antenna with variable pitch angle

To improve an elliptical cross-section helical antenna's radition performance, an elliptical helical antenna with a variable pitch angle is proposed. Its radiation patterns are simulated by the moment method and FEKO software. The results show that its circular polarisation as well as its directivity can be improved compared with an elliptical helical antenna of the same coil number, axial size and arm length.     

Axial mode helical antennas

The radiation characteristics of helical antennas operating in the axial mode are evaluated on the basis of the theoretical current distributions and are verified by experimental work. A comparison between monofilar helix and bifilar helix antennas is made, and a helical antenna with a parasitic helix (HAP) is proposed in order to enhance the power gain. It is found that the gain of the HAP in which the parasitic helix is wound from a point diametrically opposite to that of one and one-half turns of the driven helix is about 1 dB higher than that of the monofilar helix. The ratio of the frequency band in which the HAP radiates a circularly polarized wave within an axial ratio of 3 dB is calculated to be 1:1.8.     

Antennas for VHF/UHF personal radio: A theoretical and experimental study of characteristics and performance

A theoretical analysis of the characteristics of small personal radio antennas for the 68- to 470-MHz frequency range is given. Representing the human body by a simplified lossy dielectric structure, the influence of the body on the performance of the antenna is investigated in detail, and it is shown how antenna impedance, gain, and radiation patterns can be calculated taking the presence of the body into account. For very short antennas the results indicate that radiation from the body may dominate over the radiation contributed by the antenna itself, and that the presence of the body can increase the antenna efficiency considerably, indicating that even very short antennas may provide acceptable radiation efficiencies. The results of the theoretical work are supported by measurements on practical antennas. Quarter-wave and short antennas of the helical type are compared with respect to efficiency and radiation patterns at 80, 160, and 450 MHz, and it is demonstrated how the physical length of the antenna affects the antenna performance. The design of a very short and compact personal radio antenna is described.     

Heating characteristics of thin helical antennas with conductingcores in a lossy medium. I. Noninsulated antennas

We report a combined theoretical and experimental study of the heating characteristics of helical antennas in lossy dielectric media. Proposed biomedical application of such antennas include angioplasty, hyperthermia, and catheter ablation of tissue. The study focuses on helical antennas, operated in the normal mode (wavelength greater than antenna diameter but comparable to antenna length), that are terminated at one end by a short circuit and at the other by a coaxial feedpoint. The analytical model is based on the helical sheath approximation, extended to the case of lossy media. In addition, experimental studies were performed on helical antennas immersed in aqueous electrolyte of various conductivity. The antennas show two distinct modes of propagation: a slow mode similar to that observed in helical antennas in loss-free media, and a faster mode. The analytical/numerical results are in good agreement with experimental data, thus demonstrating the validity of the model     

Backfire/endfire radiation performance of quadrifilar helical antennas

The relations between the radiation pattern and feeding method in quadrifilar helical antennas is discussed. As a result, it is found that by changing the phase of each wire the helical antenna can achieve two radiation modes; both backfire and endfire radiation. These patterns do not have a difference except in radiation direction. Antenna polarisation of quadrifilar helical antenna depends only on the helical winding direction.<>
