THE RADIATION RESISTANCE OF AN ELEMENTARY DIPOLE IN ANISOTROPIC PLASMAS. Technical Note No. 3
A theoretical study is made of the radiation resistance of and the power radiated by an elementary dipole and "short" antennas placed in anisotropic dielectric media such as an ionized gas in a magnetic field. The dependence of these quantities on the dipole's orientation is the same as that of the inverse square root of the distance from the center to the surface of an ellipsoid of revolution. An integral representation for the two extreme values of the radiation resistance was obtained. For special cases of anisotropy, including the case of the uniaxial crystal, these integrals can be evaluated elementarily. For general anisotropy they were evaluated numerically for a set of parameters with the aid of an electroric computer. (auth)
