Rumsey’s Principle

All antenna characteristics so far were always scaled with respect

to . Thus, changing changes the characteristic.

The impedance and pattern properties

of an antenna will be frequency

independent if the antenna shape is

specified only in terms of angles and

the antenna itself is infinite.

Application & Performance

1. It is applied where small antennas are required:

aircrafts, mobiles, etc

2. Due to shape variations they are versatile in

polarisation, pattern, impedance, etc.

3. They have a low efficiency, spurious feed

radiation and a narrow bandwidth

4. They usually operate in broadside regime

5. /3 < L < /2 and 2 < r < 12
