Abstract

A method is presented for accurately modeling a monopole or dipole antenna fed by a coaxial line. The base of the monopole is attached to a conducting plane through which the coaxial feed line extends to the feed. The feed structures considered are easily adaptable to physically rugged forms and are simple to construct. Equivalent models for the three regions of the structure are devised and coupled integral equations for aperture fields and surface currents are formulated to enforce the boundary conditions. Three variations of the feed configuration are discussed and the reflection coefficient of the antenna feed is determined from the data obtained from the solutions of the coupled integral equations. Computed reflection coefficient values are shown to agree well with values measured on laboratory models
