The design of a thin, multiply folded, electrically small antenna is proposed for achieving high efficiency in a physically compact size. A prototype antenna has been built and measured at 150 MHz. The achievable efficiency of the multiply folded design is found to be superior to that of the inductively coupled feed design.
