Abstract
The solution is given for the total power flow from an oscillating magnetic dipole, situated above a flat homogeneous conducting ground and oriented in the vertical direction. The result is employed to derive an expression for the radiation resistance of a small wire loop whose axis is perpendicular to the ground. It is pointed out that for a finitely conducting ground that the radiation resistance is very large when the height of the small loop or dipole is a small fraction of a wavelength.
