THEORETICAL CALCULATIONS OF THE IMPEDANCE OF A MONOPOLE ANTENNA WITH A RADIAL-WIRE GROUND SYSTEM ON AN IMPERFECTLY CONDUCTING HALF-SPACE,

Abstract

The impedance of a vertical monopole located over the surface of an imperfectly conducting earth and having a radial-wire ground system was studied theoretically. This report is a presentation of calculations based on a theory showing the behavior of antenna impedance as a function of antenna height, top-loading and number, size and length of radial wires, as well as ground conductivity and permittivity.
