Far-Zone Field of a Monopole Element on a Disk Ground Plane above Flat Earth

Abstract

Richmond's moment-method analysis for the current distribution and input impedance of a monopole element on a disk ground plane above flat Earth is used to obtain the far-zone field in the free-space region. Numerical results for directivity and radiation efficiency are presented as separate entities, unlike previously reported results based on Monteath's compensation theorem or Sommerfeld's attenuation function that give only the product of the directivity and radiation efficiency.
