I need a matlab code for two arm archimedian spiral.

[mkcool28]

I am designing a two arm archimedian spiral antenna and i need help in matlab code. In this matlab code i also want to include the specification of antenna like how many turns and how much wide etc. Can anybody please help me. Thanks in advance.

'morning mkcool28 - while it's not exactly what you're after, I created a MATLAB script some time ago to draw a *conical* spiral antenna in 3D. It might provide a starting point...
