Abstract
A formulation based on the method of moments (MoM) is presented for active and parasitic wire radiators in the presence of dielectric bodies of revolution (DBOR/Wire). The formulation is general in that the wire radiators may be interior or exterior to the dielectric body of revolution (DBOR). This work is in essence an extension of techniques presented for the MoM solution of wire radiators in the presence of conducting bodies of revolution. The utility of the MoM has been expanded in the sense that the antenna engineer now has at his disposal a design tool which may accurately predict the input impedance of DBOR/Wire radiators. The validity of this technique is established by analyzing a dielectric resonator antenna and comparing the results of the DBOR/Wire formulation with those obtained by other techniques.Keywords
