Abstract
The well‐known time‐harmonic field expressions for a dipole in a cold plasma are generalized to the transient or nonsteady situation. Specifically, we consider a Hertzian dipole excited by both a constant and sinusoidal current turned on at t=0. It is found that the early part of the waveform behaves in a manner fundamentally different from the steady‐state response. (In spite of the simplicity of the model, it appears that the results are novel.)This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
