Abstract
The problem of a vertical monopole situated over a circular perfectly conducting screen lying on a finitely conducting ground is considered. An approximate method employed originally by Abbott to calculate the self-impedance is discussed. Using this formula explicit expressions are derived for the self-impedance of a thin, top-loaded vertical monopole. Sinusoidal current distribution is assumed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
