Abstract :
A numerical method is given for the determination of the impedance of an infinitely long thin-wire helix. The propagation constant of the current for zero tangential electric field is found and used in a variational expression for impedance. Asymptotic values of resistance versus pitch are compared with resistances of infinitely long straight-wire antennas.
