Abstract

This paper describes the effect of wire with small circular ground plane size (radius < λ/20) for normal mode helical antenna at which resonance condition is achieved without using any external impedance matching network. A comparative study of variation in performance of helical antenna with respect to variation in thickness of wire and ground plane size at 1.8 GHz is carried out using simulation. By comparing various results, appropriate values of the parameters are selected and the proposed antenna has been fabricated and results are experimentally validated.
