A Low-Frequency Expansion for Characteristic Modes of Conducting Bodies.

Abstract

A lossless, electrically small body of an arbitrary shape has an associated set of characteristic current distributions. Upon excitation only a few of these currents are the major contributors to the radiation field. Since their inception less than a decade ago, characteristic-mode theory and application have been investigated primarily in the resonance region. The purpose of the report is to extend this investigation to low frequencies.
