摘要

Normal mode helical antennas are widely used for RFID and mobile communications applications due to their relatively small size and omni-directional radiation pattern. However, their highly curved geometry can make the design and analysis of helical antennas that are part of larger complex structures quite difficult. A simplified model is proposed that replaces the curved helix with straight wires and lumped elements. The simplified model can be used to reduce the complexity of full-wave models that include a helical antenna. It also can be used to estimate the performance of a helical antenna without full-wave modeling of the helical structure.
