A helical antenna is a conductor wound in a helix -- like a slinky. I'm not sure what you mean by types. Depending on the wavelength of the conductor it can be broadside or end fire; perhaps that's what you mean. Try here:

An antenna feed in the form of a spiral couples to one of the two circular polarizations (depending on whether it is a right- or left-handed spiral) of a relatively narrow band.
