Dynamic Analysis of a Loaded Conical Antenna over a Ground Plane.

Abstract

Three integral equations are derived and formulated for numerical solution for the currents induced on a resistively loaded conical antenna over a ground plane. The first integral equation is a relatively simple one for a cone without a topcap. The second and third integral equations are applicable to a cone with or without a topcap, but the latter equation is relatively cumbersome, involving complicated kernels with various singularities. A computer code has been developed for each of the three methods. Numerical data for current distributions input impedances and radiation patterns are presented for resistively loaded and unloaded structures, both with and without topcap. (Author)
