The dipole antenna immersed in a homogeneoous conducting medium

Abstract
It is the object of this investigation to measure the driving-point admittance, the amplitude distribution of the current, and the phase distribution of the current, relative to the phase at the driving-point for a dipole antenna immersed in a homogeneous conducting medium. Measurements of the driving-point admittance have been made for a range of values of the ratio\sigma/\omega\epsilon_{r}\epsilon_{0}of the medium taking the electrical height of the antenna\beta has a parameter. The ratio\sigma/\omega\epsilon_{r}\epsilon_{0}is varied from\sigma/\omega\epsilon_{r}\epsilon_{0}=0.036to\sigma/\omega\epsilon_{r} \epsilon_{0}=8.8and the antenna height\beta his varied from\beta h=0.1to2\piat intervals of 0.1. The amplitude and phase distributions of the current have been measured for\beta h = \pi/2, 3\pi/4, \pi, and5/4\piin a homogeneous conducting medium whose conductivity is varied from\sigma/\omega\epsilon_{r} \epsilon_{0}=0.036to\sigma/\omega\epsilon_{r}\epsilon_{0}=8.8.
