Abstract
The traveling-wave horizontal-wire antenna over the earth is analyzed in its original form with vertical ground connections (the Beverage antenna) and with these replaced by horizontal terminations. For transmission, the electromagnetic field of an antenna with optimum length is determined, both along the surface of the earth in air and in the earth, in an accurate but simple form that takes full account of the proximity of the earth (lake, sea) on the distribution of current. For reception, the induced currents in the antenna and in the load are determined for a field incident along the surface of the earth. The two types of termination are compared and their contributions shown to be small when the horizontal wire has a length near the optimum.Keywords
