Abstract:
By applying the Wiener-Hopf technique, the reflection coefficient of the transmission current at the end of a dielectric-coated antenna can be expressed in a single integral form. This result, when used with the solution of an infinite dielectric-coated cylindrical antenna, yields the input admittance and the current distribution of a long dielectric coated antenna. It is found that unlike the locus of the admittance of a bare cylindrical antenna which converges to a point as the antenna gets longer and longer, the locus of the input admittance of the dielectric-coated antenna becomes a circle. Also, due to the reflection of the transmission current back and forth, a standing wave with surface wave length is formed along the antenna.
