Abstract
Transmission line theory for the impedances of wire antennas immersed in a cold magnetoplasma is proposed. The theory is applicable to antennas which are not necessarily small in terms of a wavelength measured along the antenna wire. The transmission line theory for the impedance of a very thin cylindrical dipole antenna leads to the Balmain quasi‐static theory when the antenna length reduces to zero. New impedance resonances which would be observed for antennas of finite length in a magnetoplasma in the frequency region below and near the electron cyclotron frequency are predicted by the present theory.Keywords
