Since a helical monopole is 90 degrees long at the design frequency,..
It may have ~ zero reactance, as does a linear ~ 90-degree monopole, but the helix will not have the radiation resistance of the linear version, as John Kraus pointed out in the linked page. Radiation resistance is a function of the end-end length of the helix and the frequency, whether the helix is self-resonant or not. The radiation resistance of the resonant helix in Kraus' example is much lower than that of a series-fed, 1/4-wave, linear monopole. |
