If you can't find one, or info on one, you might want to try sweeping the antenna with a complex impedance analyzer (VIA) that can export a file to one of the versions of NEC, and design your own. The general approach would be to find the suitable inductance, then go to inductor design tools to come up with its physical design. SimSmith is also a useful tool for designing something like this.
