THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF ANTENNAS AND ARRAYS IN A PARALLEL-PLATE REGION. PART II. THE CURRENT DISTRIBUTION AND IMPEDANCE CHARACTER ISTICS OF COUPLED ANTENNAS IN A PARALLEL-PLATE REGION,
Abstract
The current distribution and impedance character istics of two identical, coupled antennas in a parallel-plate region are studied theoretically and experimentally. The simultaneous integral equations for the current distribution on the coupled antennas have been solved by the method of phase-sequence components. Numerical values for the self and mutual admittances have been calculated for identical antennas of length h 0.25 lamda and radius a 0.0105 lamda and for spacings in the range 0.02 equal to or greater than b/lamda equal to or greater than 1.0 where b is the distance between the antennas. The cur rent distribution, self and mutual admittances of the antennas have been measured and are found to be in good agreement with theory. A description of the apparatus and measuring techniques is included. (Author)
