Abstract

Theoretical and numerical considerations of the boundary value problem involving radiation from a monopole thin wire antenna mounted on a finite cone are investigated. The problem is handled in a generalized format using Green's dyadic functions which are appropriate to the geometry of the system. The methodology of handling numerical sets of integer order, as well as real order, orthonormal eigenfunctions is developed with particular emphasis on the rapid convergence in order to be acceptable with available computer facilities. The truncation error involved in such problems is checked by observing the continuity conditions, and a parametric study then follows. Agreement of the theoretical results compared quite well with previous experimental and analytic works of Adachi, Kouyournjiam and Van Sickle.
