A compact helical antenna with a small ground is proposed for 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN applications. The proposed antenna can be easily mounted in the space‐limited systems. Good impedance matching is achieved by a spiral‐shaped microstrip line feed structure. Relatively uniform current along the helix is observed owing to the travelling‐wave current on the feed structure, which contributes to high‐gain performance even with a small ground. The measured 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth and impedance bandwidth for S 11 ≤ −10 dB overlap over 5–6 GHz, whereas the realised gain of about 13–14 dBic is achieved over the 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN band.
