The document describes a helical antenna. It has the following key points:
- A helical antenna consists of a conducting wire wound in a helical shape around a cylindrical axis, often with a ground plane.
- It can operate in two main modes: normal (broadside) mode and axial (end-fire) mode.
- In normal mode, the radiation pattern is maximum in a plane normal to the axis. It is used when helix dimensions are small compared to wavelength.
- In end-fire mode, there is a major lobe along the axis. It is more practical and can provide circular polarization over a wider bandwidth when helix circumference is between 3/4λ and 4
A loop antenna is a radio antenna consisting of a loop or coil of wire, tubing, or other electrical conductor with its ends connected to a balanced transmission line (or possibly a balun). There are two distinct antenna designs: the small loop (or magnetic loop) with a size much smaller than a wavelength, and the much larger resonant loop antenna with a circumference close to the intended wavelength of operation. Small loops have low radiation resistance and thus poor efficiency and are mainly used as receiving antennas at low frequencies. To increase the magnetic field in the loop and thus the efficiency, the coil of wire is often wound around a ferrite rod magnetic core; this is called a ferrite loop antenna. The ferrite loop is the antenna used in many AM broadcast receivers, with the exception of external loops used with AV Amplifier-Receivers and car radios; the antenna is often contained inside the radio's case. These antennas are also used for radio direction finding. In amateur radio, loop antennas are often used for low profile operating where larger antennas would be inconvenient, unsightly.

Frequency-independent (FI) antennas are radiating structures capable of maintaining consistent impedance and pattern characteristics over multiple-decade bandwidths. Their finite size limits the lowest frequency of operation, and the finite precision of the center region bounds the highest frequency of operation.
A turnstile antenna, or crossed-dipole antenna,[1] is a radio antenna consisting of a set of two identical dipole antennas mounted at right angles to each other and fed in phase quadrature; the two currents applied to the dipoles are 90° out of phase.[2][3] The name reflects the notion the antenna looks like a turnstile when mounted horizontally. The antenna can be used in two possible modes. In normal mode the antenna radiates horizontally polarized radio waves perpendicular to its axis. In axial mode the antenna radiates circularly polarized radiation along its axis.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

3. Introduction
• Another basic, simple, and practical configuration of an electromagnetic radiator is
that of a conducting wire wound in the form of a screw thread forming a helix.
• In most cases the helix is used with a ground plane.
• The ground plane can take different forms.
• One is for the ground to be flat.
• Typically the diameter of the ground plane should be at least 3λ∕4.
• However, the ground plane can also be cupped in the form of a cylindrical cavity or
in the form of a frustrum cavity.
• In addition, the helix is usually connected to the center conductor of a coaxial
transmission line at the feed point with the outer conductor of the line attached to
the ground plane.
4.
5. Geometrical Configuration
• When 𝛼 = 0◦, then the winding is flattened and the helix reduces to a loop
antenna of N turns.
• On the other hand, when 𝛼 = 90◦ then the helix reduces to a linear wire. When
0◦ < 𝛼 < 90◦, then a true helix is formed with a circumference greater than zero
but less than the circumference when the helix is reduced to a loop (𝛼 = 0◦).
6. Radiation Characteristics
• The radiation characteristics of the antenna can be
varied by controlling the size of its geometrical
properties compared to the wavelength.
• The input impedance is critically dependent upon the
pitch angle and the size of the conducting wire,
especially near the feed point, and it can be adjusted by
controlling their values.
• The general polarization of the antenna is elliptical.
However circular and linear polarizations can be
achieved over different frequency ranges.
7. Mode of Operation
• The helical antenna can operate in many modes; however the two principal ones are
the normal (broadside) and the axial (end-fire) modes.
• The three-dimensional amplitude patterns representative of a helix operating,
respectively, in the normal (broadside) and axial (end-fire) modes.
• The one representing the normal mode, has its maximum in a plane normal to the
axis and is nearly null along the axis.
• The pattern is similar in shape to that of a small dipole or circular loop.
• The pattern representative of the axial mode, has its maximum along the axis of the
helix, and it is similar to that of an end-fire array.
• The axial (end-fire) mode is usually the most practical because it can achieve
circular polarization over a wider bandwidth (usually 2:1) and it is more efficient.
8. •Because an elliptically polarized antenna can
be represented as the sum of two orthogonal
linear components in time-phase quadrature, a
helix can always receive a signal transmitted
from a rotating linearly polarized antenna.
Applications: Therefore helices are usually
positioned on the ground for space telemetry
applications of satellites, space probes, and
ballistic missiles to transmit or receive signals
that have undergone Faraday rotation by
traveling through the ionosphere.
9. Normal Mode
• In the normal mode of operation the field radiated by the antenna is maximum in a plane normal to the helix axis
and minimum along its axis which is a figure-eight rotated about its axis similar to that of a linear dipole of l < λ0
or a small loop (a ≪ λ0).
• To achieve the normal mode of operation, the dimensions of the helix are usually small compared to the
wavelength (i.e., NL0 ≪ λ0).
• The geometry of the helix reduces to a loop of diameter D when the pitch angle approaches zero and to a linear
wire of length S when it approaches 90◦.
• Since the limiting geometries of the helix are a loop and a dipole, the far field radiated by a small helix in the
normal mode can be described in terms of E𝜃 and E𝜙 components of the dipole and loop, respectively.
• In the normal mode, the helix can be simulated approximately by N small loops and N short dipoles connected
together in series.
• The fields are obtained by superposition of the fields from these elemental radiators.
• The planes of the loops are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the axes of the vertical dipoles.
• The axes of the loops and dipoles coincide with the axis of the helix.
10. Continue…
• Since in the normal mode the helix dimensions are small, the current throughout its length can
be assumed to be constant and its relative far-field pattern to be independent of the number of
loops and short dipoles.
• Thus its operation can be described accurately by the sum of the fields radiated by a small
loop of diameter D and a short dipole of length S, with its axis perpendicular to the plane of
the loop, and each with the same constant current distribution.
• The far-zone electric field radiated by a short dipole of length S and constant current I0 is E𝜃,
and it is given by (4-26a) as:
• where l is being replaced by S. In addition the electric field radiated by a loop is E𝜙, and it is
given by (5-27b) as
11. where D/2 is substituted for a. A comparison of (10-25) and (10-26) indicates that the two
components are in time-phase quadrature, a necessary but not sufficient condition for circular or
elliptical polarization.
The ratio of the magnitudes of the E𝜃 and E𝜙 components is defined here as the axial ratio (AR), and
it is given by
•By varying the D and/or S the axial ratio attains values of 0 ≤ AR ≤ ∞. The value of AR = 0 is a
special case and occurs when E𝜃 = 0 leading to a linearly polarized wave of horizontal polarization
(the helix is a loop).
•When AR = ∞, E𝜙 = 0 and the radiated wave is linearly polarized with vertical polarization (the
helix is a vertical dipole). Another special case is the one when AR is unity (AR = 1)
12. •When the dimensional parameters of the helix satisfy the above relation, the radiated field is
circularly polarized in all directions other than 𝜃 = 0◦ where the fields vanish.
•When the dimensions of the helix do not satisfy any of the above special cases, the field radiated by
the antenna is not circularly polarized.
•The progression of polarization change can be described geometrically by beginning with the pitch
angle of zero degrees (𝛼 = 0◦), which reduces the helix to a loop with linear horizontal polarization.
•As 𝛼 increases, the polarization becomes elliptical with the major axis being horizontally polarized.
•When 𝛼, is such that
and we have circular polarization.
•For greater values of 𝛼, the polarization again becomes elliptical but with the major axis vertically
polarized. Finally when 𝛼 = 90◦ the helix reduces to a linearly polarized vertical dipole.
13. Conclusion
• To achieve the normal mode of operation, it has been assumed that
the current throughout the length of the helix is of constant
magnitude and phase.
• This is satisfied to a large extent provided the total length of the
helix wire NL0 is very small compared to the wavelength (Ln ≪ λ0)
and its end is terminated properly to reduce multiple reflections.
• Because of the critical dependence of its radiation characteristics on
its geometrical dimensions, which must be very small compared to
the wavelength, this mode of operation is very narrow in bandwidth
and its radiation efficiency is very small.
• Practically this mode of operation is limited, and it is seldom
utilized.
14. End Fire Mode
• A more practical mode of operation, which can be generated with great ease, is the end-fire or axial
mode.
• In this mode of operation, there is only one major lobe and its maximum radiation intensity is along
the axis of the helix.
• The minor lobes are at oblique angles to the axis.
• To excite this mode, the diameter D and spacing S must be large fractions of the wavelength.
• To achieve circular polarization, primarily in the major lobe, the circumference of the helix must be
in the 3/4 < C∕λ0 <4/3 range (with C∕λ0 = 1 near optimum), and the spacing about S ≃ λ0∕4.
• The pitch angle is usually 12◦ ≤ 𝛼 ≤ 14◦.
• Most often the antenna is used in conjunction with a ground plane, whose diameter is at least λ0∕2,
and it is fed by a coaxial line.
• However, other types of feeds (such as waveguides and dielectric rods) are possible, especially at
microwave frequencies.
• The dimensions of the helix for this mode of operation are not as critical, thus resulting in a greater
bandwidth.
15. Design Procedure
• The terminal impedance of a helix radiating in the end-fire mode is nearly resistive with values between
100 and 200 ohms.
• Smaller values, even near 50 ohms, can be obtained by properly designing the feed.
• Empirical expressions, based on a large number of measurements, have been derived and they are used to
determine a number of parameters.
• The input impedance (purely resistive) is obtained by
16.
17. •The far-field pattern of the helix, as given by (10-35), has been developed by assuming that
the helix consists of an array of N identical turns (each of non uniform current and identical
to that of the others), a uniform spacing S between them, and the elements are placed along
the z-axis.
•The cos 𝜃 term in (10-35) represents the field pattern of a single turn, and the last term in
(10-35) is the array factor of a uniform array of N elements.
•The total field is obtained by multiplying the field from one turn with the array factor (pattern
multiplication).
•The value of p in (10-35a) is the ratio of the velocity with which the wave travels along the
helix wire to that in free space, and it is selected according to (10-35b) for ordinary end-fire
radiation or (10-35c) for Hansen-Woodyard end-fire radiation.
