Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A spiral antenna device includes a plurality of generally polygonal loops. The polygonal loops have respective side counts that decrease progressively as a function of the loop's radial distance from a center of the antenna device. The side count may vary between loops as a multiple of a power of two.

First claim
