Abstract:
Example apparatuses and methods relating to antennas are provided. An example apparatus in the form of an antenna assembly includes a first conductor structurally formed into a plurality of first conductor structural waves and a second conductor structurally formed into a plurality of second conductor structural waves. The first conductor and second conductor may be helically wound to form a bifilar helix structure having a proximal end and a distal end. The first conductor and the second conductor may be operatively coupled at the proximal end of the bifilar helix structure to form a signal feed point, and the first conductor and the second conductor are operatively coupled at the distal end of the bifilar helix structure to form a load point.
