Abstract :
Analysis of a printed wire antenna with arbitrary configuration is used to obtain a moment method solution for an array of spiral antennas. Numerical techniques employed in the computation are described together with an algorithm for defining an Archimedian spiral geometry. The numerical analysis reveals the characteristics of printed spiral antennas, such as lower Q factors, which provide advantages over dipole arrays
