"Another point I can model two helix antennas one LCP and one RCP connected at one and and so could Kraus and so can space engineers." Art should look at page 66 of the 3rd edition of Kraus` "Antennas". Fig. 3-8(c) is the axial-mode helix, an end-fire or traveling-wave antenna. Here the diameter of the coil is a significant portion of a wavelength and the distance between turns (6 are shown) ia 1/4 WL. Large loops (turns) are required to make radiation broadside to the loop instead of having a null there as in small loops. One would usually not characterize the axial mode helix as small, though two of them wound in opposite directions will indeed peoduce both both circular polarizations. Such an HF structure wouldn`t fit in two ordinary shoe boxes. Small-diameter coils produce linear polarizations in parallel with the coil axis. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
