Abstract
A rigorous solution is found to the problem of determining the current distribution and input impedance of a straight strip antenna located at a plane interface of two uniaxial metamaterials. The anisotropy axes of the metamaterials are parallel to each other and to the medium interface. The antenna is oriented perpendicular to these axes and excited by a given time-harmonic voltage. Using the Fourier transform technique, singular integral equations for the antenna current are derived and solved for all possible combinations of the metamaterial parameters. Closed-form representations for the current distribution and input impedance of an infinitely long strip are obtained and their generalization to the case of a finite-length antenna is discussed.
