An Application of the Piecewise-Sinusoidal Reaction Matching Technique to Linear Dipole Antennas.
Abstract
The paper is an application of the Piecewise-Sinusoidal Reaction Matching Technique (PSRMT) to linear, parallel thin-wire dipoles. The 'method of moments' is briefly outlined and the fundamental electromagnetic principles of reciprocity, surface equivalence and reaction are discussed. Through a logical combination of these concepts, PSRMT is developed and applied to thin-wire dipoles radiating in free space due to a delta function voltage generator at their center. The driving point impedance and the current distribution are calculated and compared to results obtained from other independent theoretical techniques. (Modified author abstract)
