A circular wire‐loop antenna of 1.042λ 0 circumference at 1 GHz with 4:1 balun and stepped wire diameter is presented in this Letter. A fixed E ‐field beam offset from broadside of −7.5° is demonstrated with a VSWR of 1.17 at 1 GHz. The antenna has an operational bandwidth of 29% for VSWR < 2 and an estimated gain of 1.24 dB. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
