Low-Angle Radiation of an Antenna Over an Irregular Ground Plane.

Abstract

Using the Compensation Theorem, first-order expressions are obtained for the radiation fields of a monopole antenna located over an irregular ground surface with finite conductivity. The azimuthally symmetric case is considered and the results are applied to the situation where the monopole is located on an elevated circular plateau with sloping sides. It is indicated that the antenna gain and the ground wave excitation are enhanced over that for a uniformly flat surface. (Author)
