  • Abstract
    Some new antennas that radiate linearly polarized toroidal beams are presented. Two prototypes have been constructed. Their design procedure is based on the use of a method of moments commercial software tool. Very accurate toroidal beams are obtained with large operating relative bandwidths - up to almost 24% in one of the models. Fairly good agreement between calculations and measurements were obtained.
