Single Feed Low Profile Omnidirectional Antenna with Slant 45 linear Polarization.

It Is shown that a sido-fed bifilar helix antenna with a single feed, can generate a slant 45° linearly polarized omnidirectional toroidal pattern. The antenna has a low profile and does not require a gronrd plane. The biller helm antenna provides slant 45° polarization over a solid angle of almost 4π sleradians as compared to a crossed dipole which generates a tilted 45° linearly polarized pattern only over a solid angle of 1.1 4π sterndians. The computed results are validated by experimental data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
