An electrically small broadband antenna comprises a plurality generalized contrawound toroidal helical antenna elements, each made from a single continuous conductor divided into two length portions each of which are substantially the same length and which have a generalized helical pattern, wherein the helical pitch senses the two length portions are opposite to one another, and the two length portions are insulated from one another and overlap one another on the surface of a generalized toroid. Each antenna element incorporates a signal coupler with an impedance matching network, wherein the first ports of the plurality of signal couplers are in proximate location to one another and are connected together to a common signal input port, and the second ports of the respective signal couplers are connected to the respective signal feed ports at the node locations where the respective length portions join one another, or at a diametrically opposite location.
