The Horizontal Wire Antenna Over a Conducting or Dielectric Half-Space: Current and Admittance
Abstract
The wave number, the distribution of current, and the admittance of a horizontal wire antenna over a homogeneous isotropic half-space are determined when the complex wave number characteristic of the half-space is large in magnitude compared with the real wave number of the air. The axial electric field at the surface of the half-space is described. The properties of the antenna are obtained from those of the eccentrically insulated dipole in a general medium in the limit as the radius of the insulation is increased without limit while the distance of the dipole from the boundary is kept constant. Application of the new theory to the Beverage or wave antenna is discussed.
