What Is the Use of a 3D-Helix Desing ?

With helix structures for RF-antenna use

it is possible to improve your antenna gain, efficiency and directivity
a circular polarisation can be distributed for improved transmitt-/ receive-capability
- e.g. for point to point communication systems or satellite communication (some example to optimace a helical antenne is provided here)

With helix stuctures in RF-systems

it is possible to create passive filter-flements in radio-systems
- by material and process selection such designs are suitable for special enviromental conditions, high temperature range or high current
