Radiating dipole antenna with tapered impedance loading

Abstract
The far-field radiated waveform and field pattern from a thin dipole antenna in the transmission line approximation are considered when the antenna is driven by a voltage generator of waveformV_{0}u(t), whereu(t)is the unit step function. The antenna is loaded with a tapered form of loading and is permitted to include reactance as well as resistance. Analytical and numerical solutions for the far-field pattern and waveform are discussed. In particular, the effects of parallel resistive and inductive loading are presented.
