Radiative Transmission Line Analysis.

Abstract

This Final Report summarizes the results of work accomplished on the theoretical analysis of two types of transmission lines for use as intruder sensors. One type is the Yagi line consisting of uniformly spaced, imperfectly conducting thin rods of identical length which are suspended a uniform height above and perpendicular to a lossy flat earth. A second type of line investigated theoretically is the single coaxial cable whose outer shield is perforated by circumferential rectangular slots, each one narrow in longitudinal extent, subtending an arc of arbitrary length and spaced uniformly along the line's extent. The cable has an imperfectly conducting circular center conductor separated by a lossy dielectric from the outer shield which is assumed to be perfectly conducting and infinitesimally thin.
