Design . of a Pulse - Radiating . . Dipole Antenna as Related to High - Frequency and Low - Frequency Limits Capt

In this note we consider some of radiating dipole antenna as related to content of the radiated waveform. For the design-parameters for a pulsethe high-frequency and low-frequency the high-frequency portion the use of a biconfcal wave launcher is discussed, The low-frequency content depends on such parameters as generator voltage and capacitance and the capacitance and mean charge separation distance of the antenna. The mean charge separation distance of the antenna is shown to be the same as its equivalent height. Finally, a technique is discussed for achieving a large antenna capacitance by making the dipole structure have an electricallylarge radius while still maintaining a sparse mechanical structure. This technique involves the use of wires (or strips, etc.) to approximate a conducting circular cylinder.
