    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a spiral light antenna. An antenna element may include a first curved element disposed orthogonally to a second curved element. The first curved element and the second curved element may be connected at a connection point at a center of the first curved element and a center of the second curved element. The antenna element may have rotational symmetry and origin symmetry though the connection point but not linear symmetry. The first curved element may be longer than the second curved element. A feed may be connected to the antenna element at the connection point perpendicular to the plane of the antenna element. The first curved element may be inductive, and the second curved element may be capacitive. The antenna element may be disposed at the front of a light bulb and the feed may extend towards the back of the light bulb.
