Multiband Asymmetric Biconical Dipole Antenna with Distributed Surface Impedance and Arbitrary Excitation

Abstract

A numerical-analytical solution of a problem concerning the current distribution and input characteristics of asymmetric biconical dipole with distributed surface impedance and arbitrary excitation and derived in the thin-wire approximation. Solution correctness is confirmed by satisfactory agreement of numerical and experimental results from literary sources. Numerical results are given for the input characteristics of the dipole in the case of its asymmetric excitation by a point source.
