1. A low profile antenna comprising an antenna element consisting of a single helical loop having multiple overlapping turns without a matching load at one end of the loop, said multiple overlapping turns being closely spaced so as to provide a sufficiently strong coupling between adjacent said overlapping turns of said helical loop to force the current in all of said overlapping turns to be in phase such that each turn of said helical loop behaves as a traveling-wave loop antenna.
