Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a meaningful expression for the dipole moment in dissipative medium. Since the dipole moment is dependent on the current distribution which in turn is a function of system parameters, and might well start with determination of the input impedance. Two of the most popular methods for determining input impedance to a radiator in an air medium are 1) the induced emf method, and 2) a method whereby the power flow across a spherical surface is calculated as the radius of the sphere becomes infinite. Both methods assume a current distribution; only the first includes reactance as a part of the impedance.
