Abstract
Archimedian and logarithmic printed wire spirals are analyzed using a moment method incorporating curved piecewise sinusoidal subdomain basi s and testing functions. Results for spiral parameters including input impedance and current distribution are presented and are shown to hav e good agreement with published results for the same antennas obtained using linear segmentation. Since the curved basis functions exactly f ollow the spiral contour, significantly fewer curved segments are, the refore, required for accurate analysis compared with linear segmentati on.
