Physical Limitations on the Measurement of Transient Fields in Air and in Dissipative Media Using Electric and Magnetic Probes

Description: The properties of electric and magnetic probes for the measurement of transient electromagnetic fields in air and in dissipative media are discussed briefly, It is shown that the effective height of an electrically small loop is independent of the ambient medium. This is also virtually true for a thin electrically short dipole (or monopole). If the open-circuit voltage of a magnetic probe can be measured accurately, it is possible (in principle) to reconstruct the time history of the incident m… more

Precise Admittance of a Monopole.

Description: The purpose of this paper is to obtain the admittance of a monopole antenna to a higher degree of accuracy than has heretofore been reported in the literature. The model selected for analysis consists of a base-driven monopole of arbitrary dimensions (length and radius) protruding perpendicularly from an infinite ground plane. The transmission line providing the excitation is a coaxial cable with outer sheath truncated at ground level. The problem is solved by obtaining the admittance of the mo… more

TRANSMISSION-LINE MISSILE ANTENNAS

Description: Protruding rocket antennas of low silhouette are examined using transmission-line concepts. The theory was developed specifically for nondissipative terminations and line sections; however, the formulas are readily generalized to include ohmic losses in the lines and terminations. Adaptive computations may be made for conductors other than circular and the theory may be used to analyze antennas of other missiles. (J.R.D.)
