Abstract :
A general theory of thin-wire multiturn loop antennas is presented. For convenience the windings of the loop are considered to form a circular helix. An integral equation is derived and solved numerically for the current distribution on the antenna. The antenna impedance, efficiency, and pattern are obtained.
