Abstract
The transient solution of an infinite cylindrical antenna in a dissipative medium caused by an impulse excitation at a delta gap is obtained via an exact solution in the form of definite integrals and a simple asymptotic formula. This formula is used to obtain an integral for calculating the antenna current caused by a double exponential input voltage at the gap; furthermore, the resulting integral reduces to Sunde's classic result under the diffusion limit. These results are applied to the transient response of a buried wire subject to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) or nearby lightning incident wave.
