Analysis of Thin-Wire Antennas in the Presence of a Dielectric and/or Ferrite Inhomogeneity.
Abstract
A moment method solution for treating thin-wire antennas in the presence of an arbitrary dielectric and/or ferrite inhomogeneity is presented. The wire is modeled by an equivalent surface current density and the dielectric/ferrite inhomogeneity is modeled by equivalent volume polarization currents. The conduction currents on the wire and the polarization currents in the dielectric/ferrite inhomogeneity are treated as independent unknowns and determined in the moment method solution. The method is applied to the problem of a loop antenna loaded with dielectric or ferrite. Numerical results are presented, and are in good agreement with measurements and previous calculations. The material contained in this report is also used as a Thesis submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering, The Ohio State University as partial fulfillment for the degree Master of Science.
