THEORY OF THE CYLINDRICAL DIPOLE ON A SPHERE

Abstract

A logical and straightforward approach to the problem of the cylindrical dipole mounted symmetrically on a conducting metallic sphere is given. The method used replaces the conducting sphere by a system of properly chosen interior sources whose coefficients are determined by Fourier Transform theory, an aperture condition, and variationally optimized point-matching. The results show agreement with experiment within about 5 percent. Extension of the method to other shapes is considered briefly.
