[SUMMARY Y] This docu ument describ bes the geom metry and form mula for an eequiangular sspiral antennaa. The surfacce of an equian ngular spiral antenna can be described d by angles. T The formula ffor the radial distance (r) oof the spiral is given g as r = Aea(φ - φ0), where A is a constan nt, φ is the anngle, and φ0 iis the initial aangle. Alternatiively, the ang gle φ can be expressed e as a function off the radial diistance (ρ) annd constants aas φ
