Abstract
The so-called gap problem in antenna theory is considered critically. It is shown that whereas there exist problems related to transmission-line end-effect and coupling between antenna and line, there is no gap, and hence no gap problem, when a physically realizable complete transmitting system is considered rather than an antenna with a fictitious mathematically convenient driving mechanism.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
