Input Characteristics of Electrically Thin Dipole with Variable Radius Along Antenna Length
Abstract
An approximate analytical solution to the problem of radiation (diffraction) of electromagnetic waves by dipole (monopole) with variable radius along antenna length is presented. The solution was carried out using generalized method of induced electromotive forces (EMF). An influence of the change of monopole radius upon input characteristics is numerically studied. Theoretical results are compared with the experimental data.
