Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
tan
The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle.
Syntax: tan(Angle)
ctan
Cotangent is a trigonometric function that is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle.

How to Evaluate Pitch Angle of Helical Antenna?

Pitch Angle of Helical Antenna evaluator uses Pitch Angle = arctan(Turn Spacing/(pi*Helix Diameter)) to evaluate the Pitch Angle, The Pitch Angle of Helical Antenna formula shows the angle at which the helical conductor is wound. When using a circumference Cλ of 1, it essentially expresses the same thing as the turn spacing Sλ. Similarly to the height A, this does not consider the pitch angle change in any impedance matching sections of the helix. Pitch Angle is denoted by α symbol.
